Steelers Remain Stuck in Kansas City

The Pittsburgh Steelers are still trying to get back home.

PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Steelers are still trying to get home after their plane had to emergency land in Kansas City on their way back from Las Vegas in Week 3. According to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero, the team remains grounded at Kansas City International Airport, with hopes of returning at some point today. 

The team had to divert to Kansas City after an oil pressure failure in one of the engines, according to KDKA. They grounded just before 5 a.m. and have been awaiting a new plane since. Pelissero reports the hope is for a new plane to get to them shortly with a departure time around 11:30 a.m. CT, 12:30 p.m. ET. 

Update: The #Steelers remain in Kansas City, where they have been stuck since their original flight back from Las Vegas made an emergency landing early this morning because of engine trouble. I’m told the current hope is to have a new plane and depart around 11:30 a.m. CT. https://t.co/w3uM7RkRZD

The Steelers were originally scheduled to land in Pittsburgh at 5 a.m. following their win over the Las Vegas Raiders. Head coach Mike Tomlin has given players the day off as they adjust to the flight delays.
