BREAKING: Pittsburgh Steelers Confirms quarterback will undergo surgery after aggravating his hamstring

For Monday night’s game against the New York Giants, the Pittsburgh Steelers will have a reshuffled lineup as they aim for their third consecutive win. Justin Fields, who started in the team’s first six games while Russell Wilson was out with a calf injury, will move to the third-string position after a minor hamstring injury. Wilson is set to return as the starter, with Kyle Allen backing him up.

The Steelers’ offense will also be without running back and kick returner Cordarrelle Patterson, who’s missing his fourth straight game due to an ankle injury. Additionally, outside linebacker Nick Herbig will be inactive for the third week because of a lingering hamstring issue, and center Zach Frazier will miss his second consecutive start with an ankle injury. Cornerback C.J. Henderson is also listed as inactive, adding to Pittsburgh’s list of sidelined players. Despite these challenges, the Steelers (5-2) are looking to keep their momentum strong against the Giants.

Earlier on Monday, the Pittsburgh Steelers placed rookie wide receiver Roman Wilson on injured reserve due to a hamstring injury. Wilson, a third-round draft pick from Michigan, has had limited playing time this season, only appearing in one game due to an ankle injury that kept him sidelined during much of training camp. His absence adds to the Steelers’ current list of injured players, impacting the team’s depth in the receiver position.

For the New York Giants, cornerbacks Adoree’ Jackson (neck) and Cor’Dale Flott are both inactive, limiting their options in the secondary. Additionally, linebacker Ty Summers, guard Jake Kubas, nose tackle Jordan Riley, punter Jamie Gillan, and quarterback Tommy DeVito will not be playing in tonight’s game. Both teams are contending with a series of injuries, which could significantly influence their roster dynamics in this matchup.
