Pittsburgh Steelers receiver and special teams standout Ben Skowronek suffered a calf injury against the Indianapolis Colts that reporter Mark Kaboly suggested could have resulted from a dirty hit. While serving as a punt gunner in Week 5, Skowronek beat his defender before being taken down by the legs and rolled up on, which drew a penalty flag.
