Pittsburgh Steelers WR Sammie Coates (hernia) recently underwent surgery to repair a sports hernia, according to a source. On another note, it was confirmed that Coates did not have surgery on his fingers, contrary to a previous report.
Footballguys View: These were the reports we were referencing earlier. Coates is only recovering from one surgery. However, that doesn’t mean his outlook for 2017 is any better. With the return of Martavis Bryant (suspension), it pushes Coates further down the depth chart. His play is not reliable anyway as drops are still a major problem for the young wideout.
