Jordan Schultz is reporting that Pittsburgh Steelers S DeShon Elliott is expected to miss only a couple weeks with the knee injury suffered in Week 1 against the New York Jets.
“Sources: Steelers S DeShon Elliott is expected to miss a couple weeks with an MCL sprain. All things considered, it’s not viewed as serious injury,” Schultz wrote. “The goal is to be back for Week 4 vs the Vikings in Ireland. In the meantime, Pittsburgh has signed Jabrill Peppers.”

The video replay did not look great as Elliott cleat got stuck in MetLife Stadium’s notorious turf and his knee bent awkwardly, but he seems to have avoided a worst-case scenario. He managed to walk off the field on his own power and didn’t head to the locker room right away, which was a good sign that it wasn’t a full tear or something more serious.
