BALTIMORE — The Pittsburgh Steelers suffered a slew of injuries in Sunday’s 27-22 win over the Baltimore Ravens. Tight end Darnell Washington, linebacker Malik Harrison and left tackle Andrus Peat all left the game with a concussion. Cornerback Brandin Echols was evaluated for a concussion but returned.
Keeanu Benton (ankle) and linebacker Patrick Queen (hip) also returned after suffering injuries.
“Darnell Washington had a concussion,” Tomlin said. “Malik Harrison had a concussion. [Andrus] Peat had a concussion. [Keeanu] Benton had an ankle, he was able to go back. Couple other evals were able to go back.
Tomlin noted how physical Steelers-Ravens games are. He’s just glad to get out of M&T Bank Stadium with a win and atop of the AFC North at 7-6.
“It’s really indicative how this game is played, man. Appreciate the efforts. Big win for us, obviously, in a hostile environment,” Tomlin said.
Following a 12-yard reception from Aaron Rodgers, Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Darnell Washington had his legs cut out from underneath him by a Ravens defender and thudded to the ground hard.
Washington got up slowly and awkwardly before walking to the sideline. He entered the blue medical tent to be checked for a concussion. He spent an extended period of time in there before emerging without a helmet and walking to the locker room.
Washington was ruled out for the rest of the game.
Trying to stop former teammate Derrick Henry on Sunday, Pittsburgh Steelers inside linebacker Malik Harrison absorbed the brunt of the bruising Baltimore Ravens tailback’s momentum on a 9-yard second-quarter pickup.
Harrison laid motionless on the ground for a moment before getting to his knees and walking off the field under his own power. Harrison headed straight for the blue medical tent to be checked for a concussion once he reached the sideline. He was ruled out for the rest of the game.
Following a 12-yard completion on a second-and-17 from the Steelers’ 13-yard line, left tackle Andrus Peat sat on the ground for a moment. He slowly got to his feet and walked off the field.
Dylan Cook replaced Peat to protect Rodgers’ blindside. When Peat exited, with 6:11 to go in the third quarter, the Steelers had passed for 204 yards and rushed for another 31. After briefly going into the blue medical tent on the sideline, Peat emerged without his helmet and headed to the locker room.
