One of the bright spots of the Steelers defense had a short night.
Rookie linebacker Ryan Shazier has left the game with a knee injury, and won’t return.
Shazier was caught by one of his own teammates while trying to back away from a pile, and immediately limped to the sidelines, where trainers were looking at his right knee.
The first-round pick from Ohio State has been a revelation, the rare rookie who can start for Dick LeBeau. We’ll probably find out tomorrow whether he will again anytime soon.
