Steelers Coach McCarthy Returns After Halftime Ankle Injury

Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike McCarthy spent halftime of Sunday's game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the sideline medical tent after apparently twisting his ankle and limping off the field. He missed the chance to address the team in the locker room, with other members of the coaching staff likely handling halftime discussions. McCarthy returned to the sideline for the second half with his ankle wrapped and resumed calling plays; reports said he could still walk and did not indicate a serious injury. Pittsburgh trailed 13-3 at halftime as its offense struggled, while Tampa Bay was playing without starting quarterback Baker Mayfield.
