INDIANAPOLIS -- Already down a running back, the Pittsburgh Steelers offense took another blow as RB Cordarrelle Patterson was ruled out with an ankle injury sustained in the second quarter of the Steelers' game against the Indianapolis Colts.
The Steelers trailed the Colts 17-3 at halftime.
Patterson was injured on the Steelers' best drive of the afternoon as he picked up a first down in the red zone on a 10-yard gain. A play later, though, wide receiver George Pickens fumbled as he was tackled near the goal line and the Steelers turned the ball over.
