Calvin Austin’s had a nice start to his fourth NFL season, but he unfortunately suffered a shoulder injury during the Steelers’ Week 4 win over the Minnesota Vikings. Despite having a bye week afterward, Austin still missed the Week 6 game against the Cleveland Browns. Now in a short week before Thursday’s night’s game, Austin has already been ruled out against Cincinnati.
Fortunately, Steelers insider Gerry Dulac did reveal a silver lining. Although he’ll miss Thursday’s game, he is expected to be healthy when the Steelers return home against the Green Bay Packers in Week 8.
