NFL Insider Adam Schefter reports that Steelers rookie G David DeCastro will have an MRI today after suffering an injury last night.

DeCastro lasted 6 plays during Saturday nightโ€™s game in which the Steelers won 38-7 over the Bills before having to be carted off the field. The team is still unsure whether the rookie simply tore his MCL or ACL.

In case its a torn MCL, DeCastro would miss half the season versus a full season had he torn his ACL. Either way, this is not a good situation for the Steelers.
