The Pittsburgh Steelers lost their highest paid player for at least Week 15 with a punctured lung during a dry-needling treatment. But how much time will he miss? Adam Schefter thinks a Week 16 return against the Detroit Lions is firmly in question right now.

“He’s not gonna play Monday night against the Dolphins. We’ll see if he’s able to come back the next week. That’s gonna be challenging too,” Schefter said via ESPN’s SportsCenter.

It’s admittedly not a ton of information to go off of, but the NFL’s top insider seems to think his Week 16 status is in question.
