The Pittsburgh Steelers are already thin in the secondary, with CB Joey Porter Jr. and S DeShon Elliott out for the team’s Week 3 matchup with the New England Patriots, and CB Darius Slay went down in the first quarter with an injury.
It appeared to be a lower-body injury for Slay, who limped off the field under his own power. Per Brian Batko of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Slay didn’t go to the blue medical tent, and on the play after Slay left the game, the Steelers were able to sack Drake Maye.
Slay could return to the game, as it’s a good sign he didn’t go to the blue medical tent, and he was shown on the CBS broadcast with his helmet on, watching the game from the sideline.
