PITTSBURGH (93.7 The Fan) – No surprises with the Steelers injury report and actually some improvement with a veteran starter for Sunday in Indianapolis.
Linebacker Alex Highsmith (groin) and tailback Jaylen Warren (knee) were forecasted to likely be out and will indeed miss the game. Also remaining out is tight end MyCole Pruitt (knee).
Quarterback Russell Wilson again is questionsable as he remains a limited participant in practice. Look for Wilson to be the emergency third quarterback for a fourth consecutive week. Guard Isaac Seumalo is doubtful after missing the last couple of weeks with a pectoral injury. For the first time in a couple of weeks, Seumalo has made it through three practices at least doing some parts of practice.
With Seumalo doubtful and likely out again this week, it will be Mason McCormick starting at left guard after rotating at the spot last week with Spencer Anderson.
"I think it's just good to get those initial nerves, just because there is a little unknown never being in an NFL football game and it's your first time," McCormick said. "Getting that out of the way, gives me all the more confidence in the world. I believe in myself, I trust my coaches. I'm ready to roll."
Of the players who missed at least a little time due to injury this week or in the Chargers game and are full go for Sunday:
· WR Van Jefferson (eye)
· S DeShon Elliott (quadricep)
Wide receiver Roman Wilson practiced full all week as he waits for his NFL debut.
