A fractured ankle suffered Sunday afternoon by Pittsburgh Steelers defensive tackle Tyson Alualu has now landed the veteran on the team’s Reserve/Injured list on Monday, it was announced.
Alualu, who suffered his fractured right ankle in the first quarter of Sunday’s home loss to the Las Vegas Raiders, will now miss extended time with his injury and quite possibly the remainder of the season. The veteran Alualu fractured his ankle as a result of outside linebacker T.J. Watt accidently landing on it in the first quarter of Sunday’s game. Alualu was expected to undergo surgery on Monday to fix his injury.
