Steelers Surprise Injury Becoming Concern Before Eagles Game.

As they prepare for a Week 15 matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles, the Pittsburgh Steelers have made their injury report public after Thursday’s practice.

Security Additionally, DeShon Elliott (hamstring) did not practice after missing Wednesday’s session.

Elliott’s injury resulted during the Steelers’ Week 14 victory against the Cleveland Browns, according to head coach Mike Tomlin during his news conference on Tuesday. It’s not encouraging that he hasn’t practiced this week. However, his condition might alter quickly, and his participation on Friday along with a possible game designation should shed additional light on it.

George Pickens, a wide receiver, missed practice for the second straight day due to a hamstring injury, which made his already dire outlook for Sunday afternoon even worse.

Following last Thursday’s practice, the 23-year-old, who missed no games in his first two NFL seasons, was sidelined for Pittsburgh’s victory against the Browns.

 

The great receiver never felt likely to play in Philadelphia after Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported that Pickens had a grade 2 strain and Tomlin said that an MRI on his hamstring showed that the ailment was more serious than expected.

The Steelers will need Mike Williams, Scotty Miller, Calvin Austin III, and Van Jefferson to fill in for Pickens, who isn’t expected to play this weekend.

Additionally, defensive tackle Larry Ogunjobi (groin) missed practice for the second day in a row following his injury sustained during the game against Cleveland.

Montravius Adams, a defensive tackle with a knee injury, participated fully in his fourth consecutive practice since last Thursday. Pittsburgh has a short window of time before determining whether to activate him to the 53-man roster because his 21-day return window will expire next week while he is still on the reserve/injured list.
