The Aporia · Steelers coach Mike McCarthy injures himself and it was serious enough he never got to halftime locker room

Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike McCarthy injured his leg during a game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and missed the halftime locker room session to receive medical attention in a tent on the sideline. The injury occurred while McCarthy was walking off the field after an interview with CBS, reportedly twisting his ankle. Despite the setback, McCarthy returned for the second half but will likely limp through the rest of the game, raising questions about who made the necessary adjustments during halftime for the struggling Steelers offense.
