The Steelers have lost two straight games, the latest of which was a 35-25 loss to the Green Bay Packers. In addition to the Week 8 loss, they have lost one of their top defenders for the season.

Per Jeremy Fowler of ESPN, the Steelers expect safety DeShon Elliott to be out for the remainder of 2025 with a knee injury.

“The Steelers are bracing for safety DeShon Elliott to miss the rest of the season, per sources,” Fowler reports. “His ACL is intact and he’s working through the nature of the leg injury, so Pittsburgh will hold out hope, but a return is not considered likely at this point.”

Elliott suffered the injury tackling Tucker Kraft after a long catch-and-run. Considering the poor play we’ve seen out of Chuck Clark and Juan Thornhill, Pittsburgh may need to make a move at safety.
