'Teryl [Austin] will be back', Rooney confirmed via the team's website in an interview with Rob King. 'I think we had a pretty solid year on defense, all things considered. Had some injuries to overcome, which wasn't easy at times. I think Teryl has done a good job, and [I'm] happy that he's gonna be back for the next couple years at least.'
That doesn't tell the full story, however. One of the reasons Rooney is happy to have Austin back with the Steelers is because he handled injuries well. They basically were never healthy all season. Cameron Heyward tore his groin off the bone in the opener on a pre-existing injury. That was just the beginning.
