Steelers DE Aaron Smith Out for the Year: The Pittsburgh Steelers have exactly gotten off to the Super Bowl defending run they envisioned coming out of training camp. This week, the Steelers’ top-ranked defense over the last few years was dealt a huge blow. According to various reports, 2004 Pro Bowl Defensive end Aaron Smith will miss the remainder of the season due to a rotator cuff injury in his right shoulder.
This week, the (3-2) Pittsburgh Steelers [-14] will be at home to host the sports betting odds underdog (1-4) 
Cleveland Browns [+14] on Sunday afternoon at 1 PM ET.
On Wednesday, the team placed Smith on the Injured Reserve list, which automatically discards him from suiting up again this season. According to other reports, Smith will undergo surgery later this week. The OVER/UNDER for the Cleveland-Steelers AFC North throwdown has been set at a combined 38 points scored.
Steelers coach Mike Tomlin has indicated that replacing Smith would be a collaborating effort between Travis Kirschke and Nick Eason. Pittsburgh’s first-round draft pick Ziggy Hood will also be available.
Smith is a 2-time Super Bowl champion (XL & XLIII), considered one of the best defensive ends against the rush. The 10-year veteran, who was drafted in the fourth round by the Steelers in the 1999 draft, will sit out the rest of this season with 379 tackles, 42.0 sacks, and 1 interception in his NFL career.
