NFL draft prospect KC Concepcion had a preventative knee procedure performed last week, sources told NFL Network's Mike Garafolo. The Texas A&M wide receiver is projected as a first-round pick and expected to be fully recovered by rookie camp.
Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver depth remains a concern entering the offseason despite acquiring Michael Pittman Jr. to pair with DK Metcalf. The team met with several top prospects at the NFL Combine, including Texas A&M's KC Concepcion. Garafolo reported that Concepcion underwent a routine knee scope by Cowboys team physician Daniel Cooper. The procedure is described as preventative, and Concepcion should be at full strength for training camp, keeping him in play for the first round. Garafolo tweeted: 'Texas A&M WR KC Concepcion underwent a knee scope described as routine and preventative, sources say. Cowboys team physician Daniel Cooper performed the scope last week. Concepcion, projected by many as a first-round pick, is expected to be 100 percent for rookie camp.' Meanwhile, former Steelers player Connor Heyward, who signed with the Las Vegas Raiders, will wear jersey number 34. The number honors his father, Craig Heyward, a former NFL running back who wore it during his career. The Raiders list Heyward as a fullback. Separately, actor and Pittsburgh native Michael Keaton shared his favorite Steelers memory in a team video: attending the 1972 Immaculate Reception game and witnessing Franco Harris' touchdown.
