Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said on Tuesday that defensive end Brett Keisel will miss Sunday's game against the Miami Dolphins, Steelers Digest reported.

"We'll look at that early next week," Tomlin said on Sunday when asked if defensive end Nick Eason would get the start if Keisel couldn't play. "Maybe we'll get those guys competing like (Antonio) Brown and (Emmanuel) Sanders."

Keisel injured his hamstring on the first snap of Sunday's 28-10 victory over the Cleveland Browns, but managed to stay on the field for 14 plays in the first half. He spent the second half of the game on the Steelers' sideline in shorts.

The nine-year veteran from BYU has 12 tackles, a sack, forced a fumble, and an interception on the season.
