Pittsburgh Steelers safety Miles Killebrew will miss the remainder of season after undergoing knee surgery, head coach Mike Tomlin announced Tuesday.

A first-team All-Pro in 2023 and a two-time Pro Bowl selection, Killebrew has played exclusively on special teams this season.

Killebrew sustained a knee injury during the Steelers' 23-9 home victory over the Cleveland Browns on Oct. 12. He was placed on injured reserve four days later.

"Our heart aches for Miles," Tomlin said on Tuesday.

Killebrew, 32, has five tackles in five games this season. He has totaled 166 tackles, two interceptions and one forced fumble in 151 career regular-season games with the Detroit Lions (2016-20) and Steelers.
