Behind the Steel Curtain
Steelers defensive lineman Daniel Ekuale tore his ACL in the Steelers’ Sunday Night Football loss to the Green Bay Packers, NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo reported Monday.
Ekuale’s left the game early with a knee injury. Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin called it “significant” in the postgame press conference.
The 31-year-old, in his seventh NFL season, signed with the Steelers over the offseason on a one-year, $2.8 million deal. He has appeared in every game so far this season, recording six total tackles.
Before coming to Pittsburgh, Ekuale had 21 career starts.
The Steelers haven’t announced any roster moves related to the Ekuale injury yet. If the torn ACL is confirmed, he’ll likely end the season on injured reserve.
