The Steelers will wait for results of an MRI on Ben Roethlisberger's left knee after the three-time Pro Bowl quarterback was carted off the field in the third quarter of Sunday's 12-6 win at St. Louis.
Michael Vick replaced Roethlisberger, who got hurt when his leg was caught underneath him on a diving, sliding sack by Mark Barron. Big Ben left the stadium on crutches and wearing a bulky brace.
Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said he won't have an update on the extent of Roethlisberger's injury before Monday.
Roethlisberger hasn't missed a start since 2012, when he was out for three games late in the season because of a shoulder injury. Vick completed 5 of 6 passes for 38 yards in relief.
The Steelers (2-1) host the Baltimore Ravens (0-3) on Thursday night.
Later in the day, running back Marshawn Lynch left Seattle's game against Chicago with a hamstring injury and was ruled out for the second half. Lynch was questionable coming into the game with a calf injury that kept him out of practice two of three days this week.
