Coming off two wins in a row, the Pittsburgh Steelers made headlines following a potential franchise-altering decision at QB on Monday. 

Kenny Pickett wasn't mentioned as part of the injury update by Coach Tomlin, because, well, he's no longer injured. 

As for some other key members of the team, including T.J. Watt and Minkah Fitzpatrick, the same thing can't be said:

Steelers Latest Injury Update, Week 18 at Ravens

  • T.J. Watt: Watt was seen leaving the game against Seattle with an undisclosed injury. Hoping to gain clarity on what Watt was dealing with, Coach Tomlin didn't add much saying that he had not checked in on Watt since Sunday night, and he could be limited or even miss practice early in the week, but doesn't assume it's overly serious. 
  • Minkah Fitzpatrick: After missing back-to-back games with a knee injury, Coach Tomlin said they expect to see Minkah participate in some form or fashion this week, which would be progress considering two straight weeks of DNP's. 
  • Elandon Roberts: Roberts raised some eyebrows when he told reporters that we shouldn't rule out his return in Week 18, and Coach Tomlin backed that up, saying he expects Roberts to participate at some point this week. 
  • Trenton Thompson: Thompson has missed multiple games with a stinger, forcing the Steelers to resort to practice squad players and traditional corners to play safety. Getting both he and Fitzpatrick back would be a welcomed surprise in the Steelers secondary.
