PITTSBURGH (93.7 The Fan) – One more practice left before the regular season finale and must win in Baltimore. Steelers could be without Ben Roethlisberger's blind-side protector in his final regular season game.
Left tackle Dan Moore, Junior unable to practice for a second consecutive day after being seen in a walking boot on Wednesday. He's key to their line and impressed the Steelers offensive coordinator with his work this year.
"For him to continue to play Monday night is impressive," said Matt Canada. "He got rolled up in a very bad way. It's what he's done all year. The fact that he's played so hard and not ever blinked. Not ever tried to go out is really impressive. I really appreciate how hard he's played. How hard he's worked and feel like he has a huge upside."
Guard Trai Turner has also been key for their offensive line, he was unable to practice again as he has been in-and-out of workouts recently with a knee injury. Also missing on Thursday is rookie linebacker Buddy Johnson with a foot injury.
New to the injury report Wednesday, Terrell Edmunds was limited with his groin injury. Starting center Kendrick Green limited with a calf injury that caused him to miss last week. Ben Roethlisberger was also limited.
Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said he's not ruling out Keith Butler returning from COVID-19 protocols to coach Sunday.
"We are all in the COVID environment," Tomlin said. "It's day-to-day. It's part of this journey for us and the 31 others."
Steelers will hold a practice on Friday before leaving Saturday for Baltimore.
