While the Steelers have one of the highest vaccination rates in the NFL, approaching, 90 percent, there is one player that appears to have not yet gotten the shot.
Steelers players who have yet to get the COVID-19 vaccinate are wearing yellow wristbands, and Pro Football Talk has noticed that rookie running back Najee Harris is one of those players.
Harris has not yet been asked about his vaccination status, but it will likely be a question reporters ask when he is made available to the media.
Fellow running back Benny Snell Jr. was also spotted wearing a yellow wristband.
Last week, the NFL informed clubs that if games cannot be rescheduled during the 18-week season if there is a COVID outbreak among unvaccinated player.
Instead, the team with the outbreak must forfeit the game and it will count as a loss for playoff seeding.
In addition, teams responsible for a canceled game will also be responsible for financial losses and subject to potential discipline from the commissioner.
Teams with a high vaccination rate (like the Steelers) will have an advantage over teams with low rates (like the Buffalo Bills) if teams have to forfeit due to an outbreak.
