The Steelers lost two more offensive linemen to injuries in Sunday’s loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, head coach Mike Tomlin announced after the game.

Right guard Trai Turner suffered a knee injury, while center Kendrick Green injured his calf. Green was replaced by J.C. Hassenauer while Joe Haeg filled in for Turner. 

The substitutions came late in the blowout loss while the Steelers were replacing a number of starters, including quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, but Tomlin clarified that they were replaced due to injury and not performance or any other factor.
