Guard/Tackle Laremy Tunsil

(On what happened Sunday morning) – “I slipped out of the shower. I walked out of the shower (and) slipped. Things happen. That’s the only thing I can say, things happen.”

(On if he was actually in the shower or walking out) – “Yes, I was walking out of the shower and I slipped.”

(On if he was at the team hotel) – “Yes.”

(On how bad was his injury) – “I thought I twisted my ankle, the same one I dislocated in college – the one I had surgery on. It was pretty banged up. I thought something was wrong with it. I went to the training room and had a lower sprain so everything is good. I’m ready to be here with my team Sunday and play against the Steelers.”

(On how disappointed he was to miss the game Sunday) – “It was very disappointing not to be out there with your team and a freak accident like that happens, it was very disappointing. I wish I was out there with the guys.”

(On what he sees when he looks at the Steelers defense) – “The Steelers have a nice defense. They are a pretty good team. They play together; they’ve been together for a while. We have to come in there with our A-game and that’s what we’re doing – preparing.”

(On the difference it could make to potentially have all the projected starters on the offensive line on the field together Sunday) – “I think it makes a big difference. It’s very exciting to have all five guys back on the line and be there together.”

(On if he was emotional Sunday when he was told he couldn’t play) – “Like I said, I just want to be out there with my teammates.”

(On if he felt like he let his teammates down) – “Yes, I feel like I did.”

(On if he felt like he could’ve played) – “No, like I said, I twisted my ankle. It’s the same one I had surgery on so I was in pain.”

(On when he had surgery on his ankle) – “2015 – January.”

(On if he dislocated his ankle at that time) – “Yes.”

(On how long was he out with the dislocated ankle) – “I was out that whole year until the season started.”

(On if it was an eight month recovery for him) – “Yes.”

(On if his ankle is still coming back a bit or if it’s fine structurally) – “It’s fine now.”

(On the injury being worse the first time he injured it) – “Yes.”

(On what he was thinking while sitting on the floor) – “Things happen.”

(On when he saw how the offensive line played last week if he thinks he can make an impact) – “There’s always room for improvement. Not just me, we have the whole starting five back. I feel like we can just bring more to the game, more to the offensive line.”

(On if every starter on the offensive line is ready to go) – “Yes, we should be ready to go.”

(On how difficult it was to find out that two of his offensive line mates were released on Tuesday) – “It’s crazy. You build that relationship with those guys and then they get cut. It’s crazy.”

(On if he apologized to his teammates after it happened) – “No, they knew that it was a freak accident. Like I said, things happen. You can’t do much about it.”
