Steelers' Ladarius Green sidelined after ankle surgery

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Ladarius Green underwent offseason ankle surgery and won't participate in OTAs.

What It Means:

Green ended last season on injured reserve with an ankle injury, which apparently required some sort of operation that is believed to have happened in January, according to San Diego Chargers' beat writer Michael Gehlken. Green hasn't participated in offseason workouts and is without a timetable for return, but it's likely the Steelers are just being cautious. Obviously, Pittsburgh felt comfortable enough with Green's ankle to give him a four-year, $20 million contract.

After being stuck behind Antonio Gates in San Diego, Green is a popular breakout pick for 2016, and that is already being priced into his ADP. Green is currently the 10th tight end off the board, according to Fantasy Football Calculator.
