Steelers DL Leaves Game vs. Seahawks With Ankle Injury

The Pittsburgh Steelers’ defense, already dealing with multiple injuries, took another hit on Sunday as defensive lineman Isaiahh Loudermilk left the Week 2 clash against the Seattle Seahawks with an ankle injury. Loudermilk, who was starting in place of Derrick Harmon (out with a knee injury), was listed as questionable to return.

With Loudermilk sidelined, rookie Yahya Black stepped in. Black, a fifth-round pick, logged 24 snaps in Week 1 and made two quarterback pressures on just seven pass-rush snaps. This could be a chance for him to earn more playing time, but losing Loudermilk is a major blow to Pittsburgh’s already thin defensive depth.

SB Nation] Why Isaiahh Loudermilk needs to be a starter for the Steelers in  2022 : r/steelers

Last week, Loudermilk played 31 snaps but failed to record a stat, grading out at 39.3 by Pro Football Focus. Despite that, the Steelers trusted him with another start against Seattle, only to see him leave early due to injury.

The Steelers are short-handed on the defensive line, with Esezi Otomewo inactive and Harmon still unavailable. Loudermilk has been known as a solid run defender, and while it’s a positive sign that he wasn’t immediately ruled out, his absence puts added strain on a defensive front that can’t afford to lose more bodies.

Bills WR Officially Benched After Repeatedly Showing Up Late to Team Meetings - This Is His Fifth Time Being Late, He Was Reportedly Intoxicated
SHOCKING news out of Orchard Park: The Buffalo Bills have indefinitely benched their former second-round wide receiver after yet another disciplinary incident. Sources inside One Bills Drive confirm this marks the FIFTH time in the 2025 season the player has been late to a team meeting — and the latest offense was the final straw: he reportedly showed up reeking of alcohol. Moments after Monday’s team meeting, head coach Sean McDermott addressed the media with a tone that left no room for interpretation: “The Buffalo Bills will not tolerate disrespect toward this football team, disrespect toward your teammates, and disrespect toward yourself. We’ve given chances, we’ve had private conversations, we’ve done everything we can. At this point, enough is enough. When you walk into this building, you represent an entire city and an entire fan base. We cannot and will not accept this any longer.” That player? None other than Keon Coleman — the once-hyped Florida State product drafted in the second round of 2024 to be Josh Allen’s next big-play weapon. From “generational talent” to full-blown headache in less than two seasons: Incidents 1–2: Late to meetings → internal warnings Incident 3: Benched for two full games in November 2025 Incident 4: Seen dancing on the sideline while serving that benching Incident 5: Showed up late AGAIN… and allegedly intoxicated → indefinitely removed from the active roster Just weeks ago, Bills Hall of Famer Andre Reed spent nearly two hours on the phone trying to mentor the 22-year-old, but it now appears the message fell on deaf ears. With no Bills receiver currently on pace for even 760 yards this season and the room already paper-thin after the Amari Cooper and Brandin Cooks additions, losing Keon Coleman — even for non-football reasons — is a gut punch. Bills Mafia is LIVID. Many are already calling for the front office to cut their losses, just like they did with first-round bust Kaiir Elam and second-round flop Boogie Basham. The million-dollar question now: Is this the end of Keon Coleman in Buffalo, or will Sean McDermott and Brandon Beane give him one final lifeline? Drop your take in the comments: Keep Keon and hope he grows up… or ship him out TODAY? 👇🔥
