How Serious Is DeShon Elliott’s Knee Injury?

How serious is DeShon Elliott’s knee injury?

While the Steelers scraped by with a win in their season opener, an injury to S DeShon Elliott puts a damper on things. As of this writing, we have no clear idea of the nature of the injury. One hopes that no news is good news, but even if he avoided major injury, he could still miss time.

The Steelers did play most of the game without Elliott, who exited midway through the second quarter. Chuck Clark filled in, while Juan Thornhill and Jalen Ramsey assumed the rest of the necessary safety snaps.
