PITTSBURGH, PA — The injury report for the Pittsburgh Steelers looked much better on Day 2 of practice as they continued to prepare for the Buffalo Bills. As the Wild Card game approached, the team had everyone back on the practice field except outside linebacker T.J. Watt.
The Steelers were without running back Najee Harris (knee), guard Isaac Seumalo (shoulder), and Watt (knee) to begin the week. Watt had previously been ruled out due to a grade 2 MCL strain in Week 18, so the team was keeping an eye on Harris and Seumalo, who were both full participants on Day 2.
Outside of Watt, the other Steeler who did not participate in practice was defensive tackle Cam Heyward, who was limited due to a rest day. He was also limited yesterday, although he has a chronic groin problem and had core muscle surgery earlier in the season. He hasn’t missed a game since, but he has been cautious with his practice in the weeks preceding games.
Safety Minkah Fitzpatrick (knee) is still listed as a full participant as he prepares to return to the field for the first time since Week 15. After being limited yesterday, inside linebacker Elandon Roberts (pectoral) was also a full participant today. According to head coach Mike Tomlin, these were the two injuries to keep an eye on this week.
