The Pittsburgh Steelers had injury added to insult yesterday.
A disappointing loss to the Philadelphia Eagles was the least of concerns for Steelers fans following an end-of-game injury to star T.J. Watt.
Here's the latest on his status, as well as others:
Steelers Not Ruling Anyone Out for Ravens Yet
"I don't have a lot of new information on those guys. Just in general, we'll formulate a plan for having increased participation from those guys over the course of the week, and we'll let the amount of that participation and the quality of that participation be our guide in terms of particularly including them," said Tomlin regarding the injury status of his players on Monday.
"Those people are George Pickens with his hamstring, DeShon Elliot with his hamstring, Larry Ogunjobi with his groin," added Tomlin. "There were some guys that went down in game that are going to be evaluated, and the doors are ajar for those guys. T.J. Watt, I just saw him walking around rather comfortably, but again, he's questionable with his ankle. We'll see where the roads lead us. Donte Jacksonn with his back and Justin fields with the abdominal injury that he sustained in play. But as I mentioned, none of these six guys could be characterized as out as I sit here today. We'll probably start with partial participation with them tomorrow and increase that and make decisions as the week goes on."
Coach Tomlin would go on to add later in his presser, that he is optimistic about the availability of Watt against the Baltimore Ravens on Saturday.
We know that if Watt can go, he will, especially with a shot at the AFC North title on the line.
As for George Pickens, we saw him look animated and into the game on Sunday, but as Adam Schefter would later add on the Pat McAfee Show, if Pickens does indeed have a grade-two hamstring strain, he may be sidelined for some time.
We'll learn more as the week progresses.
