Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker and core special teamer Tyler Matakevich has a hamstring injury and his return is questionable for Pittsburgh’s Week 2 matchup against the Denver Broncos. TribLive’s Joe Rutter reported the news on Twitter.
It’s unknown when Matakevich suffered the injury. He made a special teams tackle, bringing down Marvin Mims for a gain of just two yards on a punt return. He’s a key special teamer for the Steelers, signing with them for their second stint with the team after spending the first four years of his career with the Steelers.
If Matakevich can’t return, the Steelers will be down one of their most important special teamers.
