The Pittsburgh Steelers started preparations for the Baltimore Ravens today. 

Facing one of the best teams in the league, it will take a clean bill of health and the best performance of the season for Pittsburgh to come away with a win. 

We gained some clarity on the former today:

Injury Report Day 1, Week 5

Injury Report Observations:

  • Today was always going to be huge for Kenny Pickett, as Coach T pointed out yesterday. Seeing him in a knee brace was a tad concerning, and he looked robotic and stiff in his movements but Pickett told the media: "I'll be ready to go by Sunday"
  • Dan Moore was ruled out early in the week with a knee sprain, making it no surprise to see him not participating 
  • Muth will likely be out past the bye week, as his hamstring injury is "more than a tweak'
  • DeMarvin Leal will have to continue participating in the concussion protocol, making his absence obvious 
  • James Daniels was said to be "look much better" this week according to Coach T, so a DNP is a tad concerning
  • Pressley Harvin didn't punt at all last week and forced the Steelers to sign another punter, so seeing him still as a DNP isn't a great sign
  • Holcomb being on the report is notable, but he was limited and it was full pads so he should be expected to play 
  • Chuks Okorafor's injury is a continuation from last week, meaning I expect him to play Sunday
