Hargrave appeared to be injured making a tackle early in the second quarter.
He is being replaced by Daniel McCullers at nose tackle while Ricardo Mathews will see increased snaps in sub-packages. The Steelers have been playing without Cam Heyward, done for the season, making this an even thinner group.
We’ll keep you posted if he is able to return.
UPDATE: Javon Hargrave and Shamarko Thomas have been ruled out with concussions.
#Steelers DT Javon Hargrave has been downgraded to OUT (possible concussion). S Shamarko Thomas is OUT as well with a possible concussion.
