Mike McCarthy said the second-year defensive lineman will miss at least four games, another loss for a Pittsburgh defense already without cornerback Jamel Dean.
Pittsburgh adds a veteran with 65 career starts after trading Joey Porter Jr. and losing Jamel Dean to an ankle injury in Cleveland.
Carolina’s second-year receiver came within one catch and nine yards of two franchise records, and the defense stopped Detroit on fourth-and-13 to seal the win.
