Steelers Captain Miles Killebrew Out Season Following Knee Surgery

Pittsburgh Steelers captain and special teams ace Miles Killebrew is out for the remainder of the 2025 season following successful knee surgery after an injury sustained in Week 6 against the Cleveland Browns. Killebrew, a two-time Pro Bowler and 2023 All-Pro, has been an essential leader and key contributor on special teams since joining the Steelers in 2021, earning multiple contract extensions due to his impact. Head coach Mike Tomlin expressed the challenge of replacing Killebrew, emphasizing that multiple players will need to step up to fill the void. The injury has sparked controversy regarding the poor field conditions at Acrisure Stadium, which many believe contributed to the severity of Killebrew’s injury. Despite the setback, Killebrew remains in good spirits, posting updates on social media following his surgery. The Steelers face the Green Bay Packers in a highly anticipated Sunday night game as they adjust to the loss of a crucial team leader.
