Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Van Jefferson exited the game against the Cleveland Browns due to a quad injury sustained early in the first half. After being evaluated by trainers, he was deemed questionable to return. Despite low statistics this season, Jefferson serves as a key receiver for the Steelers, who may now rely on Calvin Austin, Mike Williams, and Ben Skowronek in his absence.

The Steelers have struggled offensively, failing to score in their previous game against the Baltimore Ravens. Jefferson's injury adds to the challenges the team faces in regaining their offensive rhythm.
