Pittsburgh Steelers S DeShon Elliott appeared to suffer a lower-body injury in the second quarter against the New York Jets in Week 1. After a T.J. Watt sack, Elliott was rolled up on and immediately grabbed his knee. Elliott was tended to by trainers on the field and initially looked like he was getting helped off the field before walking off under his own power.
Elliott is expected to play a key role for the Steelers this season, and with the team only rostering four safeties with Elliott, Chuck Clark, Juan Thornhill and Miles Killebrew, depth is thin at the position.
