Sepulveda OUT for Season!

[UPDATE] Savran on Sportsbeat had coverage of Coach Tomlin announcing to the media that Sepulveda IS out for the season; this is a big loss!

The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review is reporting that the Steelers punter, Daniel Sepulveda, injured his right knee Monday during practice.

Coach Tomlin said that Sepulveda underwent an MRI which revealed a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in his knee. He will likely be out for the season (although nothing in the article confirms this or isn't something that Tomlin was credited with / quoted as saying).

"My knee has been shaky for a while," Sepulveda said, adding that it didn't feel right while warming up Monday.

In light of the punter's injury, the Steelers claimed Paul Edinger off waivers from the Detroit Lions. He is expected to arrive at training camp sometime this evening.

"It's unfortunate for Daniel on a personal level, but it's part of football," Tomlin said. "That's what this game is about. We have to prepare to move forward, and we'll do that."

It sure does sound like he's out for the year especially with their claiming another punter, but no direct statement to that effect has been made so I will remain on the safe side until it is confirmed.
