Steelers' Ladarius Green: May miss start of training camp

Green (ankle) may not be ready for the start of training camp, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Analysis:

When asked if he would be available for the beginning of training camp come July 29, Green essentially responded, "I hope." Although no setbacks from his ankle surgery have been reported, Green stated in March that he was expecting to be ready. This decrease in optimism shouldn't spell concern for his Week 1 availability, but, nonetheless, Green could use all the practice time he's afforded in order to acclimate himself into the starting tight end role previously manned by Heath Miller, who retired.
