The grass that both the Steelers and University of Pittsburgh play

on at Heinz Field has already been re-sodded once this season. The NFL has to hope it can hold up under tough circumstances.That’s because Pitt and Syracuse are playing a game there today Atlanta Falcons Hats , a game with thunderstorms severe enough that they’re currently in a weather delay. Any time two teams play in conditions like that, there’s a risk of the grass getting chewed up.And if the grass is chewed up today, there’s not much that can be done to have it in good shape for tomorrow, when the Steelers host the Falcons. That game kicks off at 1 p.m. Eastern on Sunday, and as of 3:30 p.m. Eastern on Sunday, the Pitt-Syracuse game still has to withstand a weather delay and play the second half.Between Steelers games Atlanta Falcons Hoodie , Pitt games, high school games and other events at Heinz Field, the grass has been known to take a beating. The Steelers and Falcons will find out in pregame warmups tomorrow just how bad a beating it has taken today.Falcons cut 2017 practice squad DE J’Terius Jones J’Terius Jones was one of the standouts of the 2017 preseason, and a player the Falcons elected to keep around all of last year. With that time and now a full offseason to prove himself, the hope was that Jones would show enough to stick on the roster as the team’s fifth defensive end.Instead, he’ll look to either catch on with another team or re-join the Falcons practice squad Youth Customized Atlanta Falcons Jerseys , as he’ll reportedly be cut. Jones had a solid enough but quiet preseason, and apparently the lack of concrete steps forward in his development was enough to convince Atlanta to move on.I’m hopeful Jones will be back on the practice squad, because he is talented. He showed genuine pass rushing chops last offseason and is a quick defender who came into the NFL with the technical ability to succeed. In training camp and in preseason 2018, however, he struggled to get off of blocks and make an impact. He probably needs more time to develop and more opportunity for playing time to do it, and both of those are going to be hard to come by in Atlanta without an injury.This cut increases the chances that the Falcons will go into the season with only four true defensive ends on the roster www.falconsauthorizedshops.com , with the last defensive line position likely to be taken up by either Garrison Smith or Justin Zimmer. We’ll see if they sniff around the veteran defensive end market once the cuts have all settled out. We’ll wish him well, wherever he lands. The Falcons have now cut or will reportedly cut ties with 10 players, leaving quite a few between now and tomorrow at 4 p.m.
