Pittsburgh Steelers: Williams, Gilbert leave with injuries in Kansas City

The Pittsburgh Steelers pulled off an impressive win against the previously undefeated Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium.

It was a huge win for the Steelers in Kansas City. Handing the Chiefs their first loss of the season while also bouncing back from a Week 5 embarrassment didn’t come easy, but was worth every snap.

However, Pittsburgh took some blows in Arrowhead. While it wasn’t a ton of injuries, the players who did go down were big names for the Steelers. Until further updates on these injuries are released there’s no certainty how long this team will miss these starters.

Steelers inside linebacker Vince Williams injured his hip in the win against the Chiefs. He injured it in the second half of their win. Vince Williams is usually the Steelers starting BUCK inside linebacker. He was replaced and will continue to be replaced by Tyler Matakevich.

Marcus Gilbert reinjured his hamstring in the game against the Chiefs. He was out the past three weeks but was healthy enough to start against the Chiefs. This injury is not a good sign. Hopefully, this does not continue to be a lingering problem. With Marcus Gilbert out, he will be replaced by Chris Hubbard who has now played the past four games at right tackle.

Ramon Foster was inactive for the game today and he did not practice all week. He is listed as having a back injury. The injury was not reported at the end of last week so it must have started becoming a problem after last weeks game was over. BJ Finney filled in for him at left guard.

Otherwise, the Steelers are relatively healthy heading into their matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals at Heinz Field.
