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

Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike McCarthy appeared to injure his leg while leaving the field for a sideline interview, and did not reach the dressing room at half-time. The incident came as the Steelers were trailing Tampa Bay 13-3, leaving uncertainty over who would make the team’s half-time adjustments.

Reports said McCarthy may have twisted an ankle, and a staff member helped him off the field before he spent the half-time break in the team’s medical tent. The 62-year-old returned to the sideline for the second half, with CBS told he would limp through the rest of the game; McCarthy is also the Steelers’ offensive play-caller.
