Steelers DB Keanu Neal Injured vs. Packers
PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Steelers defense took a blow late in Week 10 after safety Keanu Neal went down with an injury near the end of the team's matchup with the Green Bay Packers.
Neal intercepted a pass that was tipped by Patrick Peterson in the endzone. He took it out and down to the Pittsburgh's 24-yard line. After the tackle, he remained on the field with players surrounding him until trainers ran out to evaluate the situation.
He was eventually helped off the field and taken to the medical tent with team doctors.
It's unknown what the injury was as he was taken to the medical tent.
The Steelers were already down a safety coming into the game as Minkah Fitzpatrick missed a second week with a hamstring injury. Without Neal, Pittsburgh will turn to Damontae Kazee, Miles Killebrew and Elijah Riley at safety, with Trenton Thompson available off the bench after being called up from the practice squad.
All Steelers will continue to provide updates as more information on Neal's injury becomes available.
