LAS VEGAS — The Steelers’ rookie center Zach Frazier left Sunday’s game against the Raiders with an ankle injury.

Late in the third quarter, Frazier was blocking on a run play when he was rolled up on.

He was helped to his feet and walked off the field with assistance and was marked as doubtful to return.

In his postgame press conference, head coach Mike Tomlin said Frazier’s injury “will be evaluated.”

Frazier is a key part of the Steelers offense and was recently ranked sixth among all NFL rookies in an ESPN poll.

Safety Minkah Fitzpatrick suffered a right shoulder injury late in the second quarter. He was slow to get up but returned to the game after being checked out in the medical tent.
