MRI Reveals Steelers OG David DeCastro Suffered Torn MCL

Found August 26, 2012 on GridironFans.com: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: David DeCastro,  Adam Schefter,  Ben Roethlisberger
TEAMS: Pittsburgh Steelers
Steelers rookie guard David DeCastro has torn the medial collateral ligament in his right knee, but has not torn the anterior cruciate ligament as originally suspected, a source with knowledge of his condition confirmed Sunday.

While the source originally said Sunday that DeCastro had torn his right ACL, the source clarified later that the 2012 first-round draft pick had other, different damage in the knee, including a dislocated knee cap.

Adam Schefter of ESPN reported Sunday that DeCastro suffered damage to his patellar tendon and it is unknown if he will be able to return this season.

Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger blamed the FieldTurf at Ralph Wilson Stadium for the rookies injury.

"Well, I just saw him, (and his) spirits are high," Roethlisberger told NFL.com and NFL Network's Kimberly Jones at halftime Saturday night. "We don't obviously know -- well, I don't know what the official word is. This is a great field, but it's FieldTurf, and it's just killing guys because they can't get their feet out of the ground, and it's just another reason we should get rid of FieldTurf."
