The Steelers placed Lee on injured reserve Saturday due to a calf injury, Brian Batko of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports. Lee was already ruled out for Sunday's regular-season opener against the Falcons after logging DNPs for all three practices. His calf injury is severe enough for him to go on IR, and the rookie sixth-round pick will have to sit for at least four games. The earliest Lee can return is Week 5 against the Cowboys on Oct. 6.

Lee (calf) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Falcons. The rookie defensive lineman out of Iowa will have to wait to make his NFL debut, as he won't suit up for Pittsburgh's Week 1 contest due to a calf injury. Isaiahh Loudermilk has a chance to see additional snaps on the Steelers' defensive line in Lee's stead.

The Steelers selected Lee in the sixth round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 178th overall. Lee fit in perfectly with Iowa during his collegiate career, as he's known primarily for his toughness and work ethic. He played defensive tackle for the Hawkeyes, though he's undersized for the position in the pros at 281 pounds. His fit defensively is thus unclear, but he blocked a pair of kicks in college and could land a roster spot as a special teams ace.
