DT Keeanu Benton Suffers Eye Injury Against Texans

Pittsburgh Steelers DT Keeanu Benton came off the field following a first down play late in the first quarter in the team’s preseason opener against the Houston Texans.

Benton missed practice earlier this week with an undisclosed injury, and after coming off the field, Benton dropped to his knees and appeared to be getting looked at by a trainer.

According to Joe Rutter of TribLive, Benton pulled a towel over his face and may have gotten poked in the eye.
