The Pittsburgh Steelers are back at home this week, preparing to take on a reeling Cardinals team. 

But with the AFC very tight in terms of the playoff race, this is a game Pittsburgh can't afford to lose. 

That means they will need to be healthy, something we just gained some clarity on following the first day of practice in Week 13:

Steelers Injury Report Week 13, Wednesday

Injury Report Observations:

  • Minkah Fitzpatrick: After not playing since the Jaguars game, and not practicing in nearly a month, Fitzpatrick made his return to the team today. Practicing in a full capacity, perhaps Pittsburgh just wanted him back at full boar before he attempted to return. 
  • Kenny Pickett: Despite being on the report with an ankle injury, Pickett was a full participant and will likely be good to go for Sunday. 
  • Monatvius Adams: Adams returned to practice last week after suffering an injury to his ankle against the Titans. He was limited all last week but this week he practiced fully on Wednesday, foreshadowing his return on Sunday.
  • Calvin Austin III: Austin left the game against the Bengals with an ankle injury but Coach Tomlin told reporters that Austin was much better than expected when they examined him not even 48 hours after the injury. On Wednesday Austin was a non-participant however.
