Pittsburgh Steelers place Levi Brown on injured reserve

The Pittsburgh Steelers have announced that they have placed offensive tackle Levi Brown on their injured reserve list.

Brown only moved to the Steelers in a trade from the Arizona Cardinals last week to shore up their offensive line following a shaky start to the season.

However, he sustained a triceps injury during the warm-up in his side's win over the New York Jets and as a result the team have ended his season by putting him on IR.

The Steelers picked up their first win of the season against the Jets on Sunday.
