Hat tip to Pittgirl for the Pitt Press Conference transcript being online.

On Greg Lee’s injury:

Greg’s a little banged up. But the good news is there’s no surgery or breaks or anything, and it’s just going to be day-to-day. I don’t know the extent of it. But he was feeling a lot better today. We’ll just take it a day at a time and as quickly as we can get him back, we will.

We checked it over last night. He’ll be out here today watching practice. As soon as he can start catching and jogging we’ll do that. We’ll ease him into practice as soon as we can.

Today’s the first day with shoulder pads. If there was a disheartening reaction (to Lee’s early injury), it was because we didn’t even have pads on yet.

On possible benefit for young receivers with Lee’s absence:

I don’t think there’s a positive side. Now do we have other receivers who are capable of going in and performing, or do we need to look at other options when we throw the ball? The good thing is we do have some capable tight ends, and we’ve got some capable backs who can catch the ball. The first reaction would be it’s a great opportunity for other receivers to fill in and get a lot more work and prove they can do the job. If they can’t, then we’ve got to find other people who can get the job done.

Coach Wannstedt was quite bitter, it seemed, about not being able to have pads on the kids. The point of not having pads, of course is to keep the coaches from having the players trying to do too much right away. Not the worst idea, from an idealistic standpoint, but reality is a little different. The news of no serious injury was enough to make the AP wires.

Coach Wannstedt also talked about the defensive position battles, specifically at defensive end and getting some more depth for the secondary.
