    The Pittsburgh Steelers placed outside linebacker LaMarr Woodley on season-ending injured reserve Tuesday because of an injured right calf.

    Woodley, the highest-paid defensive player in franchise history, missed three games earlier this season with a left calf strain. He strained his right calf early in the Steelers' 30-20 win over the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday night.

    Coach Mike Tomlin hinted earlier Tuesday that the Steelers would place Woodley on IR.

    Woodley has battled injuries since hurting his hamstring in 2011 during one of the most productive stretches of his career. Since signing a six-year, $61.5 million contract in 2011, he's missed 12 games because of hamstring and calf injuries as well as a high ankle sprain.
