Mike Garafolo of NFL Media reports that Steelers DL Daniel Ekuale tore his ACL during Sunday night’s loss to the Packers.
This is, obviously, a season-ending injury for Ekuale, who will be headed to injured reserve in the coming days.
Ekuale landed funny on his leg before going down and holding his knee.
Ekuale, 31, originally signed on with the Browns as an undrafted free agent out of Washington State. He was waived coming out of the preseason and re-signed to the practice squad.
Ekuale re-signed to a futures deal with Cleveland the following offseason but was among their final roster cuts and quickly caught on with the Jaguars.
From there, the Patriots signed Ekuale to their practice squad where he spent time on and off the active roster throughout the 2021 season. He returned on a futures deal for the 2022 season and later agreed to a two-year $3.4 million deal.
The Steelers signed Ekuale to a contract this past March.
In 2025, Ekuale appeared in six games for the Steelers and recorded six tackles and a pass defense.
