Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Ladarius Green is aiming to return for the team's season opener while battling through an ankle injury.

Green provided a temporary timeline to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler but noted that his rehab is going "very slow," after undergoing surgery in the offseason.

The 26-year-old signed a four-year contract with the Steelers in March. Green remains on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list.
