匹兹堡钢人队在今年选秀前两轮挑中的球员——线卫劳伦斯·蒂蒙斯（Lawrence Timmons）和拉马尔·伍德（LaMarr Woodley）在为期三天的迷你营的第一天双双受伤，并且可能缺席周末其它时间的训练。

　　蒂蒙斯在晨练结束后腹股沟受伤，而伍德则伤到了腿部筋腱。两人的伤势都不严重，他们都将在5月12日的训练开始前接受复检。

　　来自佛罗里达州立大学的蒂蒙斯在2007年的NFL选秀中以第15顺位被挑中，而来自密歇根大学的伍德以第46顺位被挑中。

　　钢人队新任教练迈克·汤姆林（Mike Tomlin）声称两人的伤势是“希望给他人留下第一印象的球员常见的伤势。”

　　这次的选秀是钢人队首次将前两个名额用于外线卫。在解雇前全明星线卫乔伊·波特（Joey Porter）之后，球队的线卫位置一直处于弱势。波特不久后与迈阿密海豚队签约。

　　PITTSBURGH （May 11， 2007） —— The Pittsburgh Steelers＇ top two draft picks， linebackers Lawrence Timmons and LaMarr Woodley， were hurt during the first day of a three-day minicamp and might not practice the rest of the weekend.

　　Timmons＇ groin was wrapped following the morning practice and Woodley injured a hamstring. Neither injury is believed to be serious， and both players will be re-examined before the first of two practices May 12.

　　Timmons， from Florida State， was the 15th pick in the 2007 NFL Draft. Woodley， from Michigan， was the 46th.

　　New coach Mike Tomlin called the injuries "typical …… of players trying to make a first impression." The recent draft was the first in which the Steelers used their top two picks on outside linebackers. They were thin at that position after releasing former Pro Bowl linebacker Joey Porter， who later signed with the Miami Dolphins.
