Injury Update: Steelers Leave Vegas with Only ‘Bumps and Bruises’

LAS VEGAS — Already dealing with a handful of injuries to key players, the Pittsburgh Steelers came out of their 23-18 Week 3 win over the Las Vegas Raiders relatively healthy.

Head coach Mike Tomlin listed two players in his postgame injury report, but both were able to return to action, and significantly so.

Cornerback Levi Wallace and running back Najee Harris were the two players Tomlin listed. Wallace went down with what appeared to be a right knee injury in the third quarter, but he returned after missing just one series. Wallace went on to secure the game-sealing interception with 12 seconds to play.

Harris was slow to get up after a long run in the third quarter that helped set up Pat Freiermuth’s touchdown reception. He also missed a series but eventually returned, carrying the ball three times as the Steelers gained a key first down late.

“I’m sure we’ll have some other bumps and bruises to assess,” Tomlin said. “And I’ll give you guys an update on Tuesday.”

The Steelers will go at least two more weeks without defensive tackle Cam Heyward (core muscle surgery), wide receiver Diontae Johnson (left hamstring) and running back Anthony McFarland (knee), all of whom are on injured reserve. Wide receiver Gunner Olszewski remains in the concussion protocol.
