PITTSBURGH — The Steelers got their first preseason win against Green Bay Sunday, but not without another starter suffering an injury.

Center Marukice Pouncey was taken off the field and to the locker room after his left ankle was injured while making a block.

Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said that Pouncey will likely have to have surgery on that ankle.

Tomlin said he did not know if the ankle was broken.

It is unknown how long Pouncey will be unable to play.

The Steelers lost Kicker Shaun Suisham for the season due to a preseason game injury.

In the same game, the Packers lost receiver Jordy Nelson to what reports are calling a torn ACL.
