    Steelers tight end Heath Miller has a major right knee injury that could sideline him into next season, more devastating injury news for a team that began and now will end a disappointing season with a depleted lineup.

    Miller, the likely Steelers most valuable player after making 71 catches, tore the anterior cruciate ligament and medial collateral ligaments in his right knee during the 13-10 loss Sunday to the Bengals. He also might have injured his posterior cruciate ligament, according to coach Mike Tomlin.

    Injuring all three knee ligaments can sideline a player for nine months to a year and sometimes even longer, meaning Miller might not be ready for the start of the 2013 season. The Steelers were not aware of the ACL injury immediately following the Bengals game.

    Might not be speedy enough. Big hit for this team, offseason or no offseason.
