The Pittsburgh Steelers’ defense appears to be in trouble late in Week 11, as second-year star cornerback Joey Porter Jr. and DT Keeanu Benton both exited the game in the fourth quarter with apparent lower-body injuries.

It marked Porter Jr.’s second departure from the game, having already exited the lineup briefly in the third quarter due to what appeared to be a leg injury. When exiting in the fourth quarter, Porter Jr. was able to walk off under his own power before falling to the ground and being attended to by the training staff on the sideline.

Benton, meanwhile, was down momentarily clutching his knee before leaving the field under his own power.

Should Porter Jr. be unable to return, James Pierre can be expected to step in along the perimeter. Dean Lowry, meanwhile, may step in for Benton for missed time.
