Pittsburgh linebacker James Farrior has left his team's game at Denver after suffering a head laceration.

Farrior's helmet went flying when he helped stuff running back LenDale White for no gain on second-and-goal at the two-yard-line early in the first quarter.

After a timeout, Farrior was led off the field with a towel pressed against the right side of his head, although he wasn't gushing blood like Giants quarterback Eli Manning did after losing his helmet on a hard hit earlier in the preseason.

Farrior was taken to the locker room, and the Steelers said his return was doubtful.

White would go on to score a touchdown on the very next play for the Broncos.
