Frazier was blocking and got rolled up on. He was helped to his feet and walked off with some assistance. Evan Washburn said on the CBS broadcast that Frazier took some snaps with Russell Wilson on the sideline and wanted to go back in, but the medical staff wanted to get a further evaluation in the locker room.

Ryan McCollum replaced Frazier at center. On the first play after Frazier’s injury, Najee Harris rushed for a 37-yard touchdown off the left side on a toss to advance the Steelers’ lead to 22-7.

In a recent ESPN poll, Frazier ranked sixth among all NFL rookies. The poll took the opinion of five NFL analysts, including ESPN NFL draft analyst Jordan Reid.
