Lands on IR Leal (neck) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, Teresa Varley of Pittsburgh's official site reports.

Impact Leal suffered a neck stinger against Dallas in Week 5, and the issue has been deemed serious enough for the defensive lineman to move to IR. As a result, he'll miss at least the Steelers' next four contests, with a Nov. 17 matchup versus Baltimore being his earliest possible return date. Montravius Adams could see more defensive snaps while Leal is sidelined.

Added to Steel Curtain The Steelers selected Leal in the third round of the 2022 NFL Draft, 84th overall.

Impact Leal was a blue-chip recruit and three-year starter at Texas A&M, where he played a leading role in a solid Aggies run defense. Leal is undersized as an interior defender (6-foot-4, 283 pounds) but lacks the athleticism to play true defensive end (5.0-second 40), so a 3-4 team like Pittsburgh always made the most sense for him.
