Overview
- Slay left after a 22-yard Jordan Addison catch, was examined by trainers, and James Pierre took his outside reps.
- On-field observers noted attention to Slay’s midsection, a potential core issue that has not been confirmed.
- Mike Tomlin said postgame that Slay "got cleated," while also citing Jalen Ramsey’s hamstring issue and Brandin Echols’ cramps.
- The secondary was already short without Joey Porter Jr., and Pittsburgh has been managing Slay’s snaps after minor shoulder and leg issues earlier this month.
- Pittsburgh beat Minnesota 24-21 in Dublin, and Slay returned to finish the game as his status continues to be monitored.
