It wasn't immediately apparent when the injury occurred.

Steelers postgame statement: Smith-Schuster being evaluated

Smith-Schuster caught three passes on four targets for 25 yard, one of which went for 16 yards. Steelers were already without their top target as wide receiver Diontae Johns was injured on the last play of Week 2's loss to the Las Vegas Raiders.

Soon after, right tackle Chukwuma Okorafor was taken off the field due to a mishap in which he sustained an apparent injury. Joe Haeg was then brought on. Okorafor was eventually ruled out, and was currently being evaluated for concussion.

Center Kendrick Green was also being evaluated for a knee injury.
