Middle linebacker, Ryan Shazier, has been the focal point of the Pittsburgh defense all season. His career-high 67 tackles have been a significant factor in the success of this defense, but after walking off the field with an ankle injury in the second half of their game versus the Packers, Shazier’s injury update is still unknown.
The good news is that Shazier did return to the field. However, Pittsburgh tight end, Vance McDonald, returned to the field after suffering an ankle injury earlier in the season and has yet to see the field since.
Head coach Mike Tomlin addressed the media following the game and said it was nothing more than bumps and bruises.
