Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin confirmed that the team will be signing veteran safety Jabrill Peppers at his Tuesday press conference and he confirmed that an injury to DeShon Elliott was the impetus for the move.

Four Pittsburgh Steelers defensive players left Sunday’s season-opening victory at the New York Jets because of an injury, and three did not return. “We absorbed some attrition in-game,” Tomlin said after a 34-32 comeback win.

N/A: the Seahawks injury report has yet to be disclosed. On Tuesday, HC Mike Tomlin ruled out S DeShon Elliott, DL Derrick Harmon, and LB Malik Harrison, while also expressing optimism that Joey Porter Jr. and Nick Herbig will be available in Week 2.

Pittsburgh Steelers safety DeShon Elliott is expected to miss ‘multiple weeks’ with an MCL Sprain, according to Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports. The team signed Jabrill Peppers to help fill the void in the meantime.

The Bengals’ defense helped them avoid starring 0-1, but Joe Burrow was punished. Myles Garrett expects to lead the NFL in sacks and is off to a good start.

Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin has already ruled out three players well ahead of the team's Week 2 matchup.
