The Pittsburgh Steelers entered Week 5 dealing with a multitude of injury concerns. Overall, nine players were listed on their injury report ahead of their road matchup against the Buffalo Bills.

The Steelers will now have a few more injury matters to keep a close watch on after Week 5.

For one, Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth hauled in an 8-yard pass from Kenny Pickett in the third quarter and ended up taking on helmet-to-helmet hits from defensive lineman Boogie Bashman and linebacker Tyrel Dodson. The second-year tight end was down on the ground for a bit after the play, although he was able to walk off the field on his own power.

Pittsburgh later ruled Freiermuth out for the remainder of the contest due to a concussion, which is already the third concussion of his early run in the NFL.

Steelers cornerback Levi Wallace also suffered a concussion earlier in the third quarter. He was taken to the locker room and, as with Freiermuth, Pittsburgh opted to sideline him for the rest of the game. Wallace was given the green light to play against the Bills after he dealt with a nagging foot ailment for much of last week.

Cameron Sutton also left the game and was later ruled out due to injury. He ended up re-aggravating the nagging hamstring injury that prevented him from being a full participant in practice last week. On the other hand, defensive tackle Larry Ogunjobi is now nursing a back ailment.

In the big picture, the Steelers will have plenty of injury concerns heading into their Week 6 home clash with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
