Bud Dupree Done For The Season
4 years agoPittsburgh Steelers pass-rusher Bud Dupree (knee) will in fact miss the rest of the season after suffering a torn ACL in Wednesday's win over the Ravens, according to a source. An MRI exam confirmed the injury. The team's franchise player will now set his eyes on the 2021 season, when he'll be a free agent. The 27-year-old had been a key piece to Pittsburgh's nasty defense this season, so Dupree's injury will be big for this team down the stretch and into the playoffs. He already had eight sacks through 11 games and had formed a dynamic duo with fellow linebacker T.J. Watt. If Watt is double-teamed more often with Dupree no longer on the field, it could lower his production for fantasy managers in IDP leagues. Pittsburgh's D, however, should remain an elite unit for Week 13 against the Washington Football Team.
