After suffering a hamstring injury in the second half Sunday against the Denver Broncos on the road, the Pittsburgh Steelers placed veteran linebacker Tyler Matakevich on the Reserve/Injured List Tuesday, meaning Matakevich will miss a minimum of four games.
The move comes just a few hours after head coach Mike Tomlin provided a brief update on Matakevich’s injury, stating to reporters Tuesday that Matakevich was still being evaluated. Now, he’ll be out a minimum of four weeks. Matakevich had played 36 snaps on special teams through the first two games.
Matakevich being placed on the Reserve/Injured List wasn’t the only move the Steelers made Tuesday.
