The Pittsburgh Steelers aregoing to place starting SS DeShon Elliott on injured reserve after he suffered a severe knee injury during Week 8’s loss to the Green Bay Packers, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport on X. Elliott was lost in the second half of Sunday night’s game, his leg awkwardly bent under the weight of TE Tucker Kraft at the end of his 59-yard catch.
This report is coming on the heels of a separate report that Pittsburgh is trading for S Kyle Dugger from the New England Patriots.
