Dwyer Fine After Shoulder Injury; Still Behind in the RB Battle

All signs seem to be pointing to rookie back Jonathan Dwyer being okay after suffering an injury on Saturday night vs the Lions:

RB Jonathan Dwyer shrugged off his shoulder injury he sustained during Saturday’s preseason game against the Lions. “I’m fine. It was just a little stinger,” he said. “It’s frustrating. I’m just going to do what I can to get back and help this team.” Dwyer slipped all the way to the sixth round in the 2010 draft after an outstanding career at Georgia Tech. Pittsburgh thought they landed a steal in Dwyer, but all he has done is disappoint in training camp. Dwyer is behind Isaac Redman and Mewelde Moore in the race for backup carries behind Rashard Mendenhall. This injury isn’t helping his cause.

With Redman coming on, and Dwyer having some issues early in camp, the injury is another setback, and we’ll see if he can step it up against the Giants on Saturday night.
