Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Ike Taylor broke his left thumb during the first quarter of the 16-7 preseason loss to the Washington Redskins on Friday night.

"He could be out for a couple of weeks or so," Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said. "Whether or not he'll require surgery remains to be seen."

A team source, however, told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette that it's "probable" Taylor will have surgery and would miss about three weeks.

At least he'll likely be ready for the Ravens game.

That stinks, but there is something positive to come out of it ...

Taylor's injury will give Lewis more reps

Opportunity is knocking for Keenan Lewis.

Now that Ike Taylor may miss the rest of the preseason with a broken thumb, Lewis will likely move into the cornerback rotation.

Wussy! Signs a huge contract and then gets injured!

Oh well, Lewis' turn to prove himself a starter!
