Pittsburgh Steelers OT Chukwuma Okorafor was shaken up late in the team’s game against the San Francisco 49ers, going down on a 30-yard reception by Allen Robinson. Okorafor was replaced by Dan Moore Jr., who shifted over to right tackle with Broderick Jones making his NFL debut at left tackle.
The nature of Okorafor’s injury is unknown, but with the game almost over and Pittsburgh getting blown out, it’s unlikely he’ll return today. It’ll be worth monitoring his status throughout the week with the Cleveland Browns and Myles Garrett on deck next Monday.
UPDATE: Leal returned to the game.
Pittsburgh Steelers DL DeMarvin Leal has an elbow injury and is questionable to return, per team spokesman Burt Lauten. Leal is the second Steelers defensive lineman to go down against San Francisco, with Cameron Heyward also leaving the game. He tried to return twice but has been unable to stay in the game.
Everything that could go wrong has gone wrong for the Steelers, who are trailing 20-0 in the second quarter at Acrisure Stadium. Hopefully, Leal is able to return to the game at some point.
