The Steelers second year wide receiver injured his right ankle, and was helped off the field by his teammates. Early word from Adam Schefter is a quote “minor ankle sprain”. There is no other video or details and the Steelers are characteristically tight lipped on injuries. There is not much to go on here however it seems to be a minor sprain in the sense that there's no fracture and no long term risk. However, it was significant enough that he did not walk off the field under his own power. Medically, this may be considered a grade two lateral ankle sprain, and the anticipation is Claypool will be shut down for the remainder of the preseason. With almost a month to go, Claypool projects well to be a full go Week 1.
