PITTSBURGH (93.7 The Fan) – Let's start with the glass half full with the Steelers injury report on Thursday. TJ Watt went through a full practice as he recovers from the groin injury that reoccurred during the Vikings game.
Watt's shadow on the other side, outside linebacker Alex Highsmith also practiced full as he hurt his quadricep against Minnesota last Thursday. Linebacker Robert Spillane went from a limited to a full practice participant and defensive lineman Carlos Davis practiced full.
More relatively good news as corner Joe Haden at least made it through a limited practice after not practicing for the last couple of weeks with a foot injury.
Ben Roethlisberger given Wednesday off, limited with pectoral and right shoulder injury. Roethlisberger admitted he was as sore as he's been in awhile after being sacked five times and hit seven others.
Talks of changes to the offensive line may not include Zach Banner. Active for the last five weeks after last season's ACL surgery, the tackle did not practice because of his knee. Isaiah Buggs went full on Wednesday, but unable to practice on Thursday due to his ankle injury.
Steelers will hold their final on-field practice Friday before hosting Tennessee Sunday afternoon.
