Jarvis Jones was one of the many key members of the Pittsburgh Steelers defense who went down with an injury during the team’s blowout win over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday Night Football.

Jones, who has two sacks and a forced fumble this season, injured his wrist and he is expected to undergo surgery.

From Adam Schefter of ESPN:

There is no timetable for any of the players’ return.

With Jones being listed as “out indefinitely,” it isn’t likely that he will be returning anytime soon.

For Ike Taylor, who snapped his arm in half, it is only a matter of time until he is placed on the injured reserve list.

As for Shazier, only time and the MRI results will tell just how much time he will miss.

One thing is for sure: The Steelers defense cannot afford to have injuries pile up.
