Legursky spent four seasons with the Steelers from 2009-12. After Pittsburgh, he played in Buffalo and San Diego.
The Steelers' starting center Maurkince Pouncey left Sunday's preseason game against Green Bay in the first quarter with a left ankle injury.
The four-time Pro Bowler was blocking in front of running back Le'Veon Bell when Packers cornerback Ha Ha Clinton-Dix rolled onto Pouncey's leg while making a tackle.
Pouncey was down on the Heinz Field turf for several minutes before walking off under his own power. He was examined on the sideline before being taken to the locker room for X-rays.
It’s believed that Pouncey will be out for several weeks with the injury.
Pouncey missed almost the entire 2013 season after tearing multiple ligaments in his right knee during the opener against Tennessee.
Legursky started at center in Super Bowl XLV for Pouncey.
