Not to mention that Eifert was pretty much a non-factor against the Steelers last year (0 TDs in 3 games, 49 yards per game).
I don't think even the most optimistic estimates had him back in week 2 or 3, so with him being "a couple weeks away" (according to Holic's post), I'd say he's right where we should expect right now. If this were week 4 instead of week 2, I'd understand the pessimism.
To be fair Eifert was working with a backup QB in 2 games and didn't he get a concussion 2 games against Pit or was it only one?
