Is Cordarrelle Patterson's injury the final nail in the Steelers' coffin this season?

In the Steelers vs. Colts game, it appears like the string of injuries is still ongoing. We saw how James Danielson got injured earlier in the game and now it was a Steelers player. Yes, you read it correctly; Cordarrelle Patterson, the running back of the Steelers, has been carted off the field. Not only did he appear to be in poor condition, but he was also unable to move.

As of right now, there are rumors that the running back has a serious ankle injury to his right foot. The instant it occurred appeared vicious. Due to the fact that Cordarrelle Patterson was not taken to the medical tent, everyone is currently quite concerned about him. The running back was sent back to the locker room, and rumors are currently circulating that he might not play anymore today. Currently, Harvard graduate Aaron Shampklin has taken Patterson’s spot on the field as the team’s number two running back and will be making his playing debut.

The Steelers appear to have suffered a serious blow as a result of this injury. We are seeing how the Colts have performed admirably in the game thus far. They have been attempting to control the game as much as possible and have not lost their momentum. Conversely, the Steelers are experimenting on the field with their new, rookie running back. Not only that, Najee Harris could have been under more pressure as a result of Cordarrelle Patterson’s injury.

Everyone’s focus is on Najee Harris following Cordarrelle Patterson’s injury

The Colts’ primary RB backup is under pressure since neither of their starting running backs can play right now. In case you do not know, Cordarrelle Patterson is now out and Jaylen Warren is not active at this time. Since Najee Harris is the only somewhat experienced running back on the squad, he is under a lot of pressure right now. Despite this, Aaron Shampklin is actually doing a fairly decent job of easing the load.

The Colts are now leading the game, which indicates that the only players in the Steelers who can relieve the strain are the running backs. Harris and Shampklin are finding a way to make their team comeback. Right now, fans are fervently hoping that Cordarrelle Patterson makes a quick recovery and returns to the field since his team sorely needs his assistance.
