PITTSBURGH --Pittsburgh Steelers guard Isaac Seumalo suffered a pectoral strain against the Green Bay Packers, head coach Mike Tomlin said. Seumalo suffered a pec strain last year before the season started, forcing him to miss three games.
Without him in there, it will be Spencer Anderson starting in his place. Anderson has been the team’s jumbo tight end over the last few games to great success. It has been their identity, and the Steelers have leaned into it. Yet, without him out there, the Steelers scrapped the jumbo package, instead moving into their base offense for the rest of the game.
Seumalo tried to tough it out and return to the game before pulling himself after the first drive of the second half, and he was ruled out for the rest of the game. Now, it is unknown just how long he will miss.
The Steelers’ offensive line has been remarkably healthy for most of the season, with all the starters playing in each game, but Seumalo is likely to miss some time with the injury, which will change what the Steelers can do up front.
After Seumalo exited the game, the Steelers ran the ball just three times as they played from behind against the Packers who jumped out to a big lead.
