The Pittsburgh Steelers suffered a disheartening defeat against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday. The Steelers also suffered several injuries, including a significant one to veteran defensive lineman Daniel Ekuale.
NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo reported Ekuale sustained a torn ACL. While Garafolo didn’t address the defensive lineman’s timetable for return, such an injury should rule out Ekuale for the remainder of the 2025 season.
“Steelers DL Daniel Ekuale tore his ACL last night in the loss to the Packers, sources tell me and Ian Rapoport,” posted Garafolo on X. “A tough blow for the team and the seventh-year veteran.”
Ekuale suffered his knee injury during the second quarter Sunday night. The veteran walked off the field on his own, but the team called him doubtful to return after he entered the blue medical tent.
Ekuale eventually went into the locker room and didn’t play again.
In his first season with the Steelers, Ekuale posted six combined tackles, one quarterback hit and one pass defense in seven contests. He played 72 defensive snaps and six on special teams.
