Steelers safety DeShon Elliott is likely going to miss the rest of the season with the knee injury he suffered during Sunday night's game against the Green Bay Packers.

Elliott left the game early in the second half on Sunday night after getting tangled up while tackling Green Bay tight end Tucker Kraft. He was quickly ruled out for the night after leaving the game.

ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reported Monday night that the team is preparing for Elliott to miss the rest of the season.

Citing sources, Fowler said that Elliott's ACL is intact and "working through the nature of the leg injury."

Fowler said the team is holding out hope for Elliott to return this season, but it's not looking likely.

Elliott signed a two-year contract extension with the team this past summer.
