Coach Mike Tomlin revealed the extent of the injury, which occurred early in the third quarter, and said, “it is not good.”
Linebacker James Farrior, the defensive captain, called the injury to Smith “devastating.”
“It’s heartbreaking to see a guy worked so hard to get back and have an injury like this,” Farrior said. “I know he’s devastated, I’m devastated and I’m sure everybody else is. To see a guy come out and just do everything right and get himself back to where he needs to be and have something like this happen is definitely frustrating.”
Smith, 34, saw his 2007 season end with a torn bicep muscle in his right arm late in the year. He returned to have a Pro Bowl season in 2008.
