PITTSBURGH (93.7 The Fan) – TJ Watt (hip/knee) again able to go through a limited practice and joined as a part-time participant on Thursday by Joe Haden and Ben Roethlisberger. Haden (foot) is an upgrade from not practicing on Wednesday.
Steelers list a right shoulder and pectoral injury for Roethlisberger who missed the game two weeks ago and all of practice last week due to COVID-19.
The back-up to already injured guard Kevin Dotson, JC Hassenauer missed his second consecutive practice with a pectoral injury and Eric Ebron was not around because of a knee injury.
Safety Minkah Fitzpatrick returned from the COVID-19 list before practice on Thursday and went full.
Starting guard Trai Turner back to full practice, same with reserve defensive lineman Isaiahh Loudermilk.
"He's got good pad level, uses his hands well, is able to get on the edge and rush the passer pretty well," defensive captain Cam Heyward said of Loudermilk. "He's only going to get better. We have to have him out there. He's a guy we depend on. He's performed pretty well."
Steelers will practice on Friday before leaving for Cincinnati on Saturday.
