The Steelers missed a slew of players at practice on Wednesday in preparation for their final game of the season against the Cleveland Browns.
Pittsburgh’s safety Mikah Fitzpatrick was a part of the group that wasn’t participating in practice. He picked up an ankle injury in the third quarter of last week’s game against the Ravens. The injury saw Fitzpatrick exit the game, but he returned three snaps later and secured an interception with 13 seconds left to seal the win for the Steelers.
Running back Najee Harris was also missing at practice today, but it wasn’t related to an injury he was just given a rest. Cornerback James Pierre, who came out after only two snaps in Sunday’s game, is currently in concussion protocol, but was a full participant in practice today.
Linebacker Myles Jack continues to deal with a groin injury, missing practice despite making an appearance against the Ravens after being listed as questionable going into the game. He took part of six defensive snaps in the game.
Others listed on Injury Report were Wide Receiver Diontae Johnson (hip), Defensive back Tre Norwood (hamstring), cornerback Arthur Maulet (Illness), Offensive lineman Kevin Dotson (Shoulder), and Defensive lineman Larry Ogunjobi (toe) were all non-participants at Wednesday’s practice.
The coconscious is that Fitzpatrick, Johnson, Harris, and Maulet will all be able to play in Sunday’s game.
