Steelers fans rocked by bombshell injury update from NFL insider

It wasn’t exactly news when the Pittsburgh Steelers announced that they had placed veteran safety DeShon Elliott on injured reserve. After a knee injury during the loss to the Packers, it was a well-known fact that Elliott was heading for a stint on IR.

However, Ian Rapoport’s news that Elliott is down for the foreseeable future, and possibly even the rest of the season, is certainly worth mentioning.

The #Steelers placed S DeShon Elliott and DT Daniel Ekuale on Injured Reserve. Ekuale tore his ACL and Elliott (knee) is out for the foreseeable future, likely the season, as well.
