BANNER GOES DOWN WITH RIGHT KNEE INJURY

Guam’s Zach Banner was making a strong debut after being named the starting Right Tackle for the Pittsburgh Steelers in their first game of 2020 before a late 4th quarter knee injury forced him to be carted off the field.

Banner went down on a touchdown pass to Juju Smith-Schuster to seal the Steelers win and needed assistance from teammates to get off the field. While waiting for the cart, Banner tried to hold back his emotions as he fears the severity of the injury.
