PITTSBURGH (93.7 The Fan) – No Steelers are even questionable who were able to practice this week. The only two players ruled out for Sunday, defensive tackle Derrick Harmon (knee) and offensive tackle Broderick Jones (neck), were ruled out by Mike Tomlin on Tuesday.
It was a list of good news with Aaron Rodgers (wrist) leading the group of returning. Same for outside linebacker Alex Highsmith (pec), who missed a pair of games with a pec injury. Corner Joey Porter, Junior (hip) has been cleared after going full for the first time this week.
“It feels great to know I’m back,” Highsmith said. “It’s definitely been frustrating this season regarding injuries, last year too. It’s frustrating, but continuing who I am in the Lord and know that’s where my identity is. I feel like God has really strengthened my character at the times when I have been out.”
“I’m trying to dominate what I can control. Dominate being the best teammate, dominate in rehab every single day and I think that’s where it starts for me.”

“It’s good for the rotation for sure, we can get guys on, get guys off,” said outside linebacker TJ Watt. “Know the guys behind us re going to be able to go out and perform at a high level. Excited to get him back.”
