Is Cam Heyward Injured? Steelers DL Forced to Leave Field After Tough Blow vs. Jets

Cam Heyward’s status for Week 1 against the Jets was a mystery right up until the season opener eve. And no, it wasn’t an injury holding things up—it was his contract.

But now that the game’s underway at MetLife, the bigger question is whether he’ll actually finish it.

The 36-year-old went down against the Jets, and while he managed to walk off under his own power, the discomfort on his face told the story. The severity isn’t clear yet, but for a player whose availability was already in the spotlight, this twist couldn’t have come at a worse time.

This is a developing story. Stay Tuned.
