Steelers face major special teams setback after key injury against Browns

The Pittsburgh Steelers’ defense has enjoyed its full starting 11 for the first time this season, holding the Cleveland Browns to just three points in the first half.

Unfortunately, the depth of the defensive secondary and the overall special teams unit took a hit ahead of halftime as safety Miles Killebrew went down with a non-contact knee injury while covering a punt return.

Killebrew spent a short time in the medical tent before he was carted back to the locker room. Killebrew has been ruled out of the game, and given the nature of the injury, the Steelers will have to make some adjustments going forward on special teams.
