Injury Roundup: Steelers Suffer Injuries To Three Defenders Against Lions

Following the Pittsburgh Steelers final exhibition game of 2024, head coach Mike Tomlin offered an injury recap after the team’s 24-17 loss to the Detroit Lions Saturday afternoon. Most notable was the late-game injury suffered by rookie S Ryan Watts, who took a knee to the head attempting to make a tackle with less than two minutes to go in the game.

“Cory Trice had a groin,” Tomlin said via the team’s YouTube channel. “[Julius Welschof] had a knee that’s being evaluated. And you guys obviously saw Ryan Watts. I think he can be described as a stinger.
