Rebilas-USA TODAY SportsWhile the future once appeared bright for the Alliance of American Football, the realities of the recent investment from Tom Dundon became starkly apparent after it emerged that the majority owner had decided to suspend operations just eight weeks into the inaugural season. Initially hailed as the savior of the AAF when it was reported he had invested $250 million into the league just a few months ago, Dundon opted to pull the plug when it became clear that he would not be getting the immediate cooperation from the NFLPA that he was looking for. Seeking a formal affiliation with the NFL that would guarantee the fledgling league players at the fringe of NFL rosters and also significantly increase the value of his investment, Dundon’s attempts to leverage the NFLPA into giving him the agreement he wanted have unsurprisingly fallen flat.His decision to end play at this stage of the season appears to have come as a surprise to the rest of the AAF, including co-founders Charlie Ebersol and Bill Polian, with Polian issuing this statement on Tuesday and reported by Darren Rovell of The Action Network.AAF employees were informed of the league’s suspension via a somewhat impersonal mass email sent out to players, coaches and staff members alike. A note that also hints at the AAF’s hopes to return with new investment in 2020.And as the AAF disintegrates, the truth behind the way the league was poorly managed is just starting to emerge. While some reports have attempted to lay the blame for league’s failure at the feet of the NFL and NFLPA for failing to negotiate with the AAF, it would seem that most blame Dundon for the league’s premature end.For players like former Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Jamar Summers who was one of the AAF’s standout performers Cameron Heyward Jersey , the exposure the league gave him should be enough to earn him a spot in an NFL training camp this year. But for many of the other players in the league, their best shot of ever playing professional football again might be when the XFL launches in 2020. The Pittsburgh Steelers injury report was full of good news on Wednesday, with just one player listed as missing practice due to injury. However, that name was not one of the trio many might have expected to see, while two of the players carrying more notable injuries made surprise returns to training as full participants.Marcus Gilbert finds himself sidelined by a knee injury as the rest of his teammates prepare to face the Cleveland Browns and this is not the first time has missed practice time this season because of this issue. Despite having missed the game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 3 because of a hamstring injury, Gilbert has still managed to play each week even when bothered by this recurring issue and it can only be hoped that will be the case once again on Sunday.Although Maurkice Pouncey was the beneficiary of his customary veteran rest day, it appears Ben Roethlisberger was not and it will be interesting to note if he does not take one this week coming off the bye.The welcome return of Morgan Burnett and L.J. Fort as full participants was rather unexpected and their progress will be something to follow as they get closer to game day. If they can repeat the feet on Thursday and Friday, their chances of playing on Sunday will be high.Darrius Heyward-Bey continues to struggle with an ankle problem and his status remains in doubt for Week 8, as does that of Xavier Grimble who presumably picked up a concussion in training on Monday and will now be under the watchful eye of the medical staff.
