BBR Posted June 25 Report Share Posted June 25 They released him with a Non-Football Injury designation. Something about his ankle. Might just be an excuse.  They also turned around and signed Trai Turner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

|Montana Bengal| Posted June 25 Report Share Posted June 25  Quote  David DeCastro on his future: A lot of variables; a lot of questions Posted by Charean Williams on June 25, 2021, 4:29 PM EDT  David DeCastro is only 31. He has missed only seven games the past eight seasons, making six Pro Bowls in that time.  But after the Steelers released DeCastro on Thursday, the offensive guard sounds as if heâs leaning toward retirement.  DeCastro needs surgery for bone spurs on his ankle that were an ongoing problem last year. He has had two previous surgeries on the ankle.  He talked about giving it his âbest shotâ to play this year, but his âbody didnât cooperate.â  âIâve thought about it all offseason,â DeCastro told Jim Conley of 93.7 The Fan. âI knew something was wrong. I wanted to give it that 18-month window, [which] is usually when you can tell with surgery, so I gave it time to rest then started working out, running and moving around, but I knew something wasnât right.â  DeCastro said it will be a minimum of two months after surgery before he can even contemplate a return. Even then, he might need more time.  So DeCastro will not be signing with a new team anytime soon, if at all.  âI donât know if it would need more [time],â DeCastro said. âDefinitely getting older your body doesnât recover like it used to, and if you start pounding on it right away, stuff doesnât come back. A lot of variables. A lot of questions. Kind of taking it day-by-day.  https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2021/06/25/david-decastro-on-his-future-a-lot-of-variables-a-lot-of-questions/  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
