Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Lawrence Timmons was taken to hospital with a leg injury Sunday and now we know why.

Head coach Mike Tomlin announced Tuesday that Timmons was treated for a puncture wound. No further details were provided, but it sounds like Timmons had to be stitched up and that's the reason for his hospital visit.

The good news for Timmons and the Steelers is that the issue isn't expected to prevent the linebacker from playing this weekend, according to Tomlin.
