The injuries continue to pile up for the Pittsburgh Steelers, as RB Cordarrelle Patterson walked off the field flanked by trainers. Patterson had his helmet off as he walked slowly to the sideline. Per senior director of communications Burt Lauten, Patterson has an ankle injury and is questionable to return.
Patterson had six carries for 43 yards before exiting the game. The Steelers’ only other healthy running backs are Najee Harris and Aaron Shampklin as RB Jaylen Warren is out with a knee injury.
