Jones likely suffered the injury during the Week 6 win over the Jets. The former Georgia Bulldog had two tackles in the game. He has started four of the five games that he has appeared in so far this season and has a compiled a total of 18 tackles. His loss would likely move Jason Worilds into the starting lineup.
The Steelers have suffered from a ton of injuries this season, which are partly to blame for their 1-4 record. Pittsburgh is currently in last place in the AFC North and will host the Ravens on Sunday.
