    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Steelers G Simmons out with frostbiteWell, in a classic you-won't-believe-this-one moment, the Steelers have lost a starter for Sunday's game against the Kansas City Chiefs because the guy actually got too much treatment in trying to come back from an injury. Right guard Kendall Simmons will sit out the game because of an ice burn on his left foot. It seems that Simmons, who has not practiced this week, fell asleep with a cooling device on his foot as he attempted to treat a heel injury. The result: Even though winter hasn't arrived yet in Pittsburgh, the fifth-year veteran suffered the equivalent of frostbite. How long the injury will sideline Simmons, whose heel was left raw by the incident, has not yet been determined. "It's disappointing anytime [an injury] is something that simple," a sheepish Simmons told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. "It's more of a freak accident."</div> LinkThis has to be one of the stupidest injury reports I've seen. This has to be one of the funniest things I've read on the injury report. :HAHAHA: I bet he feels like a dumbass. :doh:

    This really sucks for the Steelers, such a stupid injury. Kendall Simmons and Alan Faneca are probably the top OG duo in the NFL.
