Leal (neck) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, Teresa Varley of Pittsburgh's official site reports. Leal suffered a neck stinger against Dallas in Week 5, and the issue has been deemed serious enough for the defensive lineman to move to IR. As a result, he'll miss at least the Steelers' next four contests, with a Nov. 17 matchup versus Baltimore being his earliest possible return date. Montravius Adams could see more defensive snaps while Leal is sidelined.

Lands on IR
Leal (neck) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, Teresa Varley of Pittsburgh's official site reports. Leal suffered a neck stinger against Dallas in Week 5, and the issue has been deemed serious enough for the defensive lineman to move to IR. As a result, he'll miss at least the Steelers' next four contests, with a Nov. 17 matchup versus Baltimore being his earliest possible return date. Montravius Adams could see more defensive snaps while Leal is sidelined.
Won't play at Las Vegas
Coach Mike Tomlin said Tuesday that Leal (neck) is out for Sunday's game at Las Vegas, Missi Matthews of the Steelers' official site reports. Leal was forced out of Sunday's game versus the Cowboys early with a neck issue, which will hold him out of action entirely in Week 6. Montravius Adams will likely see an uptick in reps in his absence.
Unlikely to return
Leal (neck) is doubtful to return to Sunday's contest against the Cowboys, Steelers Senior Director of Communications Burt Lauten reports. Leal suffered a stinger in the fourth quarter, and, unsurprisingly, he is expected to remain out for the rest of the game. In Leal's absence, Isaiahh Loudermilk is a candidate to see an increase in workload on the defensive line.
