Some injury updates to kick off this week of practices…
The Pittsburgh Steelers are off to a 2-0 start, but undoubtedly, they’d Iike to keep that winning streak going as long as possible. A big key to that will be getting the roster as healthy as they can moving forward, and it seems like the team is making progress toward that goal ahead of Week 3.
Here’s a full breakdown of Steelers injury report for Wednesday, September 18 ahead of their Week 3 home opener against the Los Angeles Chargers.
Steelers Week 3 injury report: Wednesday, September 18
DNP: OG Isaac Seumalo (pectoral), TE MyCole Pruitt (knee), RB Najee Harris (rest)
Limited: Russell Wilson (calf), WR Roman Wilson (ankle), DL Larry Ogunjobi (knee), T.J. Watt
(rest)
Though Russell Wilson’s name tops the list of players to watch heading into Week 3, the team is fully prepared to move forward with Justin Fields against the Chargers as they go through practices this week, Mike Tomlin announced in his Tuesday presser. No big surprises there in terms of his status to open up the week.
The Steelers gave RB Najee Harris a full rest day, while Watt practiced in a limited fashion for the same reason.
TE MyCole Pruitt’s injury could force him out of action for the week, logging a “DNP” with a knee injury and promoting practice squad tight end Rodney Williams to the active roster on Wednesday.
One name to watch closely as the week progresses will be starting LG Isaac Seumalo, who is working his way back from a pectoral injury suffered ahead of Week 1. His original projected timeline for return fell somewhere around a month, which would put him at the end of September for a comeback, so it seems likely it will still be OL Spencer Anderson playing in his place for Week 3 with him missing the first practice of the week. However, Tomlin says Seumalo is making some progress, which is great news all around.
