Maybe not.  Anyways, the human body just doesn't seem capable of playing football without falling apart.  Whether that is due to the way players play now or what we know about said injuries is up for debate.  Ok, rant mode over.

Not a bad idea to have Mitchell suspended as long as Eifert is out.

Maybe the NFL should adopt a policy for players who have a history of delivering helmet to helmet hits on defenseless players?  If they're repeat offenders they not only get slapped with fines but also suspended for X amount of games.  Or, to your point they must also sit out while the player rehabbing is out.  Not a bad idea.

Still not enough for a punk like Mitchell.  Eifert is way more valuable to his team than Mitchell to the Steelers.  My guess is the karma will catch up to this guy.  I just hope for his sake it's not a crippling injury from leading with his head - that can be extremely dangerous for defensive players.
