PITTSBURGH --Pittsburgh Steelers guard Isaac Seumalo aggravated a pectoral injury he suffered last week against the Green Bay Packers and did not return to the game in the fourth quarter. He was the only injury of note from head coach Mike Tomlin and it is unknown just how long he will be out, if at all.
Seumalo was able to log a limited practice last week and that allowed him to play. It could be a similar story this week against the Los Angeles Chargers as long as he did not worsen the previous injury.
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.
The Steelers’ offensive line has been remarkably healthy for most of the season, with all the starters playing in each game, but Seumalo could miss time which would throw off the continuity the team has put together on that unit throughout the entire season.
