Steelers' huge win over the Colts comes with a loss they can't afford after key offensive starter reaggravates lingering injury

Seumalo was questionable coming into he game with a pec injury, and he seems to have reaggravated it during Sunday's game. Now, Seumalo did stand on the sideline for the remainder of the game, which could indicate that the Steelers were just being cautious.

Had he been seen entering the blue tent or heading for the locker room, suddenly, there is a lot more concern. The Steelers have always played it safe with Seumalo, as he often receives veteran rest days during weekly practice.

And with the game largely out of reach by the time he exited, perhaps that was why. And if you're the Steelers, that would be smart. It's hard to put into words how valuable Seumalo is to the Steelers' rushing offense.

A lot of the Steelers' success on the ground has come from their jumbo package. That's where Spencer Anderson, the team's backup left guard, enters the game, and the Steelers go six offensive linemen and put Darnell Washington in the game to bludgeon opposing defenses.

Well, if Seumalo is out, Pittsburgh has to start Anderson, and the jumbo package is obsolete.

So we'll see what his status looks like this week, but the Steelers will need him going forward, especially against the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday night next week.
