Pittsburgh Steelers rookie linebacker Bud Dupree will not return to Saturday's preseason game against the Buffalo Bills after suffering a foot injury.

It's unclear how Dupree sustained the injury, or whether the initial diagnosis is serious, but even the most minor ailments can force players to the sidelines in exhibition games.

Dupree, who joined the team as a first-round pick in this year's draft, gives the Steelers some much-needed explosiveness as a pass-rusher on the defensive edge.
