Ike Taylor will not need surgery
Ike Taylor - DB - Pittsburgh Steelers
Dec. 31, 2012 - 12:20 PM ET

Steelers coach Mike Tomlin confirmed that RCB Ike Taylor's hairline leg fracture will not require offseason surgery.

Taylor's injury will heal with rest, and he should be available for the full offseason program. Though he turns 33 in May, Taylor is still playing at a high enough level that the Steelers won't think twice about retaining him at his $6 million scheduled base salary. He'll return as Pittsburgh's top corner.
