It was a brutal day for injuries as the Steelers lost their Week 2 match against the Las Vegas Raiders. The most significant loss appears to have occurred in the first quarter, as defensive tackle Tyson Alualu suffered an ankle injury which was later clarified to be an ankle fracture. In his post-game press conference Head Coach Mike Tomlin stated that Alualu would “be out for extended time”. After the game, Gerry Dulac reported that surgery would happen tomorrow and Alualu was expected to miss the rest of the season:
