The Pittsburgh Steelers are no strangers to injuries to their offensive linemen, and the team saw yet another to the group during the Week 6 game against the Las Vegas Raiders, when rookie center Zach Frazier had to exit the contest.
Frazier's injury occurred in the third quarter of the game against the Raiders. The 2024 second-round pick had a Las Vegas defender roll up on his left leg, which can often lead to a serious injury.
Frazier was clearly in pain as the play unfolded and was down on the field for a bit before he eventually exited. The rookie center was replaced by Ryan McCollum. Here's a look at video of the injury.

Frazier took a trip to the tent to get checked out before he eventually went to the locker room. The CBS broadcast added that Frazier did try to get back into the contest and practiced some snaps, but the team erred on the side of caution.
We'll update this page as more information becomes available, but it looks like the rookie isn't seriously hurt.
