Pittsburgh Steelers' Derek Watt, Eric Ebron ruled out vs. Cincinnati Bengals with injuries

PITTSBURGH -- Steelers fullback Derek Watt and tight end Eric Ebron were ruled out of Pittsburgh's 27-17 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals on Monday Night Football because of injuries.

Watt went into the locker room in the first quarter to be evaluated for a concussion after he collided with the knee of Bengals returner Alex Erickson on the first punt return of the game.

"Just wanted to send a quick message to say thank you to everyone for the well wishes and let you know that I'm going to be ok," he tweeted afterward.

Ebron injured his back as defenders converged on him in the second quarter. Coach Mike Tomlin said after the game that Ebron was undergoing further evaluation.
