Regardless who is playing quarterback for the Steelers in the near future, he’s going to have someone new protecting his blind side.
Steelers left tackle Kelvin Beachum will miss the remainder of the season with a torn ACL, Pittsburgh coach Mike Tomlin told reporters.
Beachum suffered the injury in the second quarter of Sunday’s 25-13 win over the Arizona Cardinals. He went down awkwardly after a Cardinals player fell into Beachum’s leg while he was blocking another player.
Beachum, a seventh-round pick out of SMU, is playing in the final year of his rookie contract, one that he has outplayed as a starter the last two-plus seasons.
