Report: Steelers CB Haden suffers 'minor' ankle injury

Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Joe Haden has carted off the practice field Wednesday afternoon but reportedly did not suffer a major injury. ESPN's Adam Schefter tweeted that Haden had a "minor ankle injury."

"(Haden) is being evaluated for an injury and it will be updated after the game (Friday)," Steelers spokesman Burt Lauten said, per the Tribune-Review of Pittsburgh. Haden was not expected to play in Friday's preseason opener against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

The No. 7 overall pick by Cleveland in the 2010 NFL Draft, Haden signed a three-year, $27 million contract with the Steelers in June 2017. He started 15 games last season, tallying 63 tackles, 12 passes defensed, two interceptions and a forced fumble.
