Recebedor do Texas A&M KC Concepcion passa por artroscopia de rotina no joelho

O prospecto do draft da NFL KC Concepcion passou por um procedimento preventivo no joelho na semana passada, informaram fontes a Mike Garafolo, da NFL Network. O wide receiver do Texas A&M é projetado como escolha de primeira rodada e deve estar totalmente recuperado para o camp de rookies.

A profundidade de wide receivers dos Pittsburgh Steelers continua sendo uma preocupação ao entrarem na offseason, apesar da aquisição de Michael Pittman Jr. para formar dupla com DK Metcalf. A equipe se reuniu com vários prospectos de elite no NFL Combine, incluindo KC Concepcion, do Texas A&M. Garafolo informou que Concepcion passou por uma artroscopia de rotina no joelho realizada pelo médico da equipe dos Cowboys, Daniel Cooper. O procedimento é descrito como preventivo, e Concepcion deve estar em plena forma para o training camp, o que o mantém como opção para a primeira rodada. Garafolo tuitou: 'WR do Texas A&M KC Concepcion passou por uma artroscopia no joelho descrita como rotina e preventiva, dizem fontes. O médico da equipe dos Cowboys, Daniel Cooper, realizou a artroscopia na semana passada. Concepcion, projetado por muitos como escolha de primeira rodada, deve estar 100% para o camp de rookies.' Enquanto isso, o ex-jogador dos Steelers Connor Heyward, que assinou com o Las Vegas Raiders, usará o número 34 da camisa. O número homenageia seu pai, Craig Heyward, ex-running back da NFL que o usou durante sua carreira. Os Raiders o listam como fullback. Em notícia separada, o ator e nativo de Pittsburgh Michael Keaton compartilhou sua memória favorita dos Steelers em um vídeo da equipe: ter assistido ao jogo da Immaculate Reception de 1972 e presenciado o touchdown de Franco Harris.
