Taylor breaks thumb in Steelers' loss
Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Ike Taylor broke his left thumb in the first quarter of the 16-7 exhibition loss to the Washington Redskins on Friday night.
''He could be out for a couple of weeks or so,'' Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said. ''Whether or not he'll require surgery remains to be seen.''
Taylor, who re-signed with the Steelers last week, was injured on the game's second play and left later during the Redskins opening drive.
Tomlin said receiver Wes Lyons (concussion), defensive end Sunny Harris (foot), cornerback Crezdon Butler (quad) and cornerback Keenan Lewis (calf) were also injured during the game.
