The Facts: Rogers gave an update on his recovery from ACL surgery. “Off the crutches,” Rogers tweeted Tuesday.
Diehards Line:
Rogers, 25, injured his knee on the final drive of the Steelers’ 45-42 playoff loss to the Jaguars on January 14. He underwent surgery three days later. Based on the timing of the injury, Rogers faces a challenge in returning for the start of the 2018 season. He becomes a restricted free agent next month. Rogers had only 18 catches for 149 yards and one touchdown in 2017, losing snaps to Martavis Bryant and JuJu Smith-Schuster.
