The Pittsburgh Steelers, led by quarterback Kenny Pickett, face the Atlanta Falcons, led by quarterback Desmond Ridder, on Thursday, August 24, 2023 (8/24/23) at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia.
PITTSBURGH — The ball settled into Calvin Austin’s hands with nothing but green grass in front of him. As he raced down the sideline toward the end zone, all of the doubts, all of the pain, all of the worry vanished.
Technically, it was 666 days between his 69-yard sprint on a reversei n Memphis’ win over Navy on Oct. 14, 2021, and his cathartic race to the end zone in Pittsburgh’s preseason-opening win over the Buccaneers on Aug. 11. “I wasn’t going to be left out,” said Austin, who will get another chance to show how far he’s come on Saturday night when Pittsburgh hosts Buffalo. “It’s not about when you get on the train, it’s about everyone being on the same page and stuff. I wasn’t going to be left behind.”
As blissful as the moment was, it was just a moment. If anything, it allowed Austin to formally put the injury in the rearview mirror. The first major surgery of his life left him worried — at least initially — that he might not be the same player whenever he came back. “I’m just constantly learning whatever , he said. “Outside inside, I’m just continuing to grow and get comfortable.”
