 PITTSBURGH -- Pittsburgh Steelers All-Pro center Dermontti Dawson, making his first start in seven games, lasted three plays of Sunday's 31-24 loss to Baltimore before reinjuring his hamstring.

Dawson did not return, and Steelers coach Bill Cowher said, "He's probably done for the year."

Dawson, playing for the first time since Oct. 17, was injured on a play that saw Mike Tomczak complete a 28-yard pass to Kordell Stewart on the Steelers' first drive. Dawson limped off the field and sought treatment from team doctors.

Dawson started 170 consecutive games before getting hurt, at the time the second-longest streak in the NFL. It is the first serious injury of his 12-season career.
