The Pittsburgh Steelers lost Saturday’s game to the Indianapolis Colts, one that will likely end their playoff chances. They also might have lost their captain for next weekend. Though not mentioned during the game or by Mike Tomlin in his postgame press conference, Steelers DT and team captain Cam Heyward has been placed into concussion protocol. That’s according to team spokesman Burt Lauten via the PPG’s Brian Batko, who tweeted the news a short time ago.
