    Willie Colon's season is over before it really started. Again.

    The Steelers placed their starting right tackle on the injured reserve list on Tuesday hours after the 28-year-old lineman underwent surgery to repair a torn right triceps sustained in a season-opening loss to Baltimore.

    This is the second straight year Colon's season has been cut remarkably short. He missed all of last year after rupturing his Achillies' tendon in mini-camp, but the team was so confident he would bounce back it signed him to a five-year, $29 million contract in July.
