Bruce Gradkowski leaves game with hamstring injury
by Robert Kohnfelder | Fri, Aug 12th 11:12pm EDT
Steelers QB Bruce Gradkowski completed 3-of-3 passing attempts for 22 yards and rushed twice for 11 yards against the Lions before leaving the game with a hamstring injury.
Fantasy Impact:
Gradkowski looked like a much more efficient QB than Landry Jones, who got the start in Friday's preseason opener, but was forced to leave the game after being tackled in the third quarter. The Steelers seem to be pushing for Jones to serve as Ben Roethlisberger's primary backup in 2016, but the veteran Gradkowski looked like a better option in his limited playing time. If he can return for next week's contest, and Jones continues his mediocre play, it wouldn't be surprising to see the Steelers re-order their QB depth chart in the near future.
