The Steelers were “smashed” by the Buffalo Bills on Sunday and it doesn’t get any easier with Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers coming in to Acrisure Stadium on Sunday
On top of poor play from all three phases of the game and bad coaching, the Steelers also have to deal with a myriad of injures.
Cornerback Cam Sutton, who was on the injury list but played in Buffalo before having to leave the game early, is dealing with a hamstring.
Cornerback Ahekllo Witherspoon, who has missed the past two games with a hamstring issues is still hurt
Cornerback Levi Wallace is in concussion protocol.
Safety Minkah Fitzpatrick continues to deal with a knee injury.
Defensive lineman Larry Ogunjobi has a back issue and defensive tackle Montravius Adams has a hip injury.
On the offensive side of the ball the Steelers tight ends are dealing with injuries.
Pat Freiermuth is in concussion protocol and Zach Gentry has a knee issue.
Some good news, safety Terrell Edmunds is close to leaving concussion protocol and should be good for Sunday.
Not mentioned by Tomlin was defensive tackle Cam Heyward, who had an elbow/ankle back from the Jets game.
Tomlin says many of the injuries will be managed through the week with their participation becoming more clear as the week goes on.
