The Steelers snapped the Miami Dolphins’ four-game winning streak with a 28-15 victory in Pittsburgh on Monday Night Football to close out Week 15. However, two of the Steelers’ top players suffered injuries in the win.
Speaking to the media after the game, head coach Mike Tomlin said starting guard Isaac Seumalo has a tricep injury and outside linebacker Nick Herbig has a hamstring injury, and both are “being evaluated.” Tomlin chalked up any other injuries as “bumps and bruises associated with play.”
Seumalo left the game and did not return in the second half after being ruled out. Jack Sawyer also started to see snaps in relief of Herbig late.
As always, more information on the timelines and severity of the Steelers’ injuries will be made available during in-week practice reports. After playing on Monday, Pittsburgh has one less day of preparation and recovery ahead of a Sunday matchup against the Detroit Lions on Dec. 21.
