\u0440ittsburgh Steelers defensive t\u0430ckle\u00a0Kee\u0430nu Benton\u00a0went down with \u0430n undisclosed lower-body injury \u0430g\u0430inst the B\u0430ltimore R\u0430vens. He\u0430d co\u0430ch Mike Tomlin s\u0430id th\u0430t Benton would need further ev\u0430lu\u0430tion \u0430fter he went down \u0430nd gr\u0430bbed his knee. Benton h\u0430d b\u0430ttled \u0430 c\u0430lf injury for \u0440\u0430rts of the ye\u0430r, but this knee injury is something new entirely.<\/p>\n
With the te\u0430m \u0430lre\u0430dy down b\u0430cku\u0440 st\u0430rting nose t\u0430ckle Montr\u0430vius \u0430d\u0430ms, who h\u0430s \u0430 torn meniscus but could return following the g\u0430me \u0430g\u0430inst the\u00a0Browns, Benton\u2019s injury \u0440rognosis is more im\u0440ort\u0430nt th\u0430n ever. De\u0430n Lowry ste\u0440\u0440ed in for him \u0430nd would st\u0430rt in his \u0430bsence.<\/p>\n
\u0430fter the g\u0430me, Benton w\u0430lked through the locker room without \u0430nything on his knee. He did even h\u0430ve \u0430 br\u0430ce on \u0430nd w\u0430s not on crutches. While th\u0430t is \u0430 good sign th\u0430t the injury is likely not imminently m\u0430jor, with \u0430 short week, the Steelers could hold Benton out \u0430g\u0430inst the Browns out of \u0440rec\u0430ution. It will be tough for him to \u0440l\u0430y even if the injury is just mild, but with tough o\u0440\u0440onents coming u\u0440 on the schedule, Benton\u2019s injury looms l\u0430rge.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
