Inside linebacker Robert Spillane left the Steelers Week 7 game against the Tennessee Titans with an injury on Sunday afternoon.

Spillane made a huge hit on a goal line stop against Titans running back Derrick Henry, but left the game, while gesturing toward his left shoulder and collarbone area.

Spillane was in the starting lineup against the Titans following the season-ending knee injury suffered by starter Devin Bush against the Cleveland Browns in Week 6.

Second-year linebacker Ulysees Gilbert III replaced Spillane in the Steelers’ lineup.
