Pittsburgh Steelers offensive guard Isaac Seumalo (pectoral) has yet to make his 2024 season debut after suffering a pectoral injury in the preseason. However, head coach Mike Tomlin said there's a chance the veteran could return for the Week 5 Sunday Night Football matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. The veteran has played in 98 career games and started all 17 contests for the Steelers last season. With starting offensive linemen Nate Herbig (shoulder), Troy Fautanu (knee), and James Daniels (Achilles) all expected to miss the rest of the season, Seumalo's potential return couldn't come at a better time. Dallas has allowed 145.8 rushing yards per game, so Justin Fields and Najee Harris could rack up plenty of yards in the showdown between two iconic organizations.
The Pittsburgh Steelers have officially ruled out guard Isaac Seumalo (pectoral) for Sunday's matchup against the Colts. The 2016 third-round pick has been sidelined for the first four games of the regular season due to a pectoral injury. Although he made strides to return this week, participating in all three practice sessions as a limited participant, he could not fully recover from a preseason strain. Last season, Seumalo started all 17 games for Pittsburgh after signing a three-year, $24 million free-agent contract in March 2023. The Philadelphia Eagles originally drafted him in the third round of the 2016 NFL Draft, where he appeared in 81 games (60 starts) and played a vital role in the team's Super Bowl run in 2022. His next opportunity to return to the field will be in Week 5 against the Cowboys on October 6. In the meantime, Spencer Anderson will continue to fill in as the Steelers' starting left guard.
Pittsburgh Steelers left guard Isaac Seumalo (pectoral) has a chance to play in Week 4. He suffered his injury prior to the opening of the regular season and has yet to play in 2024. He is a huge piece of a much improved Steelers O-line. Should Seumalo return this week he would provide a massive boost for Steelers running backs Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren. Additionally, Seumalo would help quarterback Justin Fields, and by extension, wide receiver George Pickens and tight end Pat Freiermuth. If he is unable to play in Week 4, then fantasy managers can find comfort in the fact that Seumalo appears to be close to returning. This situation is worth monitoring for everyone rostering Steelers skill position players.
Isaac Seumalo Won't Suit Up For Steelers In Week 1
Pittsburgh Steelers offensive lineman Isaac Seumalo (pectoral) will not play in Week 1 against the Atlanta Falcons while he works through a pectoral injury, according to head coach Mike Tomlin. The 30-year-old started all 17 games in his first season with Pittsburgh following a 17-start campaign in 2022 with the Philadelphia Eagles. Starting center Nate Herbig (shoulder) suffered a season-ending injury this preseason, so the team will be without two key players on the interior offensive line. This could cause issues for quarterback Russell Wilson and running backs Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren (hamstring) in a matchup against stud interior defensive lineman Grady Jarrett.
Pittsburgh Steelers left guard Isaac Seumalo (shoulder) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Arizona Cardinals. Seumalo had not missed a single snap through the Steelers' first 11 games this season, but that streak comes to an end in Week 13. Spencer Anderson should see more snaps in his absence.
Free-agent guard Isaac Seumalo agreed to a three-year deal with the Steelers on Saturday. The 29-year-old has battled some injuries over the years. However, he appeared in all 17 games for the Eagles last season. Pittsburgh is apparently making the offensive line a priority, as the team also recently added Nate Herbig. The upgrade in protection could go a long way, especially concerning the development of Kenny Pickett. At the same time, Najee Harris, who has averaged 3.9 yards per carry during his career, should also benefit.
Philadelphia Eagles offensive guard Isaac Seumalo (foot) said that he's ahead of schedule in his recovery from a Lisfranc foot injury that ended his season early last year. Seumalo played in just three games in 2021 before suffering his foot injury, and he played in just nine games in 2020. The 28-year-old should be the Eagles starting right guard in 2022 if he's fully healthy heading into Week 1 of the regular season. Seumalo was originally a third-round selection by the Eagles in 2016 out of Oregon State, and he's played in 64 games (43 starts) in his six seasons in the NFL.
Philadelphia Eagles offensive guard Isaac Seumalo (foot) suffered a Lisfranc injury in the Monday night loss to the Dallas Cowboys and will require season-ending surgery. Seumalo will be placed on Injured Reserve as well. It's another big blow to an already beat up Eagles offensive line, as Brandon Brooks (pectoral) is already on Injured Reserve and left tackle Jordan Mailata is also hurt. Nate Herbig replaced Seumalo on the offensive line on Monday night and is likely to get the start in Week 4 against the Kansas City Chiefs. Quarterback Jalen Hurts and the Eagles running game could be in trouble with a shaky offensive line in front of them.
Philadelphia Eagles offensive guard Isaac Seumalo (foot) was injured in the fourth quarter of the Monday night loss to the Dallas Cowboys and was carted off the field by the medical staff. The Eagles also played most of the game without safety K'Von Wallace, suffered a shoulder injury in the first half. Nate Herbig replaced Seumalo at left guard after he left the game. Philadelphia's offensive line is falling apart early in the year, as they've already lost left tackle Jordan Mailata (knee) and right guard Brandon Brooks (pectoral) to injury. Dallas' defensive line controlled the line of scrimmage and were collapsing the pocket frequently, making it really tough on second-year quarterback Jalen Hurts.
The Philadelphia Eagles restructured offensive lineman Isaac Seumalo's contract on Wednesday, creating $2.408 million in salary cap space. The Eagles dropped his base salary to the veteran minimum and paid out the rest of his salary for the 2021 season in a bonus. Seumalo is signed through the 2022 season after signing a three-year contract extension in 2019. The third-round pick in 2016 has developed in recent seasons and isn't likely going anywhere anytime soon. The 27-year-old from Oregon State has dealt with his fair share of injuries in recent seasons, but he's expected to take over as the starting center once Jason Kelce decides to hang up his cleats. Philadelphia is currently projected to be around $29 million over the salary cap after Seumalo's restructuring.
