Steelers' Spence suffers season-ending injury

Steelers rookie linebacker Sean Spence suffered a season-ending knee injury Thursday in the preseason finale against the Panthers.

The Steelers acknowledged Spence suffered a significant knee injury but have not confirmed published reports that he tore two knee ligaments and dislocated his kneecap.
