DeShon Elliott, the Pittsburg Steelers safety, suffered a tragic knee injury in the game against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday Night Football. The broadcast showed Elliot’s leg bent awkwardly during a tackle, after which trainers attended to him on the field.
As he got up, he was unable to put any weight on his legs as trainers escorted him to the locker room. He has been ruled out for the rest of the game.
Here’s the video:
So far this season, DeShon Elliott has 19 solo tackles with an interception and a forced fumble to his name in the four games he has played for the Steelers, so far. He finished Sunday’s game with five solo tackles.

As of now, an official update on the full extent of DeShon Elliott’s injury is not clear, as the team has not provided an official update on him. In his absence, Juan Thornhill is the favorite to lead the Steelers defense, with Chuck Clark and Jabrill Peppers serving as backups.
The Pittsburgh Steelers next face the Indianapolis Colts next Sunday on Week 9.
