Steelers Week 14 Injury Report, Wednesday
Observations:
- Najee Harris: Harris was a nonparticipant on Tuesday with a surprise knee injury. Never a good sign and especially not on a short week, there was significant concern following yesterday's report. On Wednesday, Harris once again didn't participate and is listed as questionable for tomorrow night. No participation in back-to-back practices is a not a good sign, and may foreshadow the first missed games of Harris' pro career.
- Elandon Roberts: Losing Roberts in-game on Sunday was like "Losing another QB," to quote Mike Tomlin. The last starter the team had an inside linebacker, his absence was felt tremendously and will continue to be if he misses games. Roberts told reporters on Tuesday that he imagines he will be questionable for TNF. His participation status backed that up, with Roberts listed as a limited participant on Tuesday. As for the final report of the week, Roberts was limited and is listed as questionable for Thursday night.
- Isaac Seumalo: Seumalo was the third Steeler to leave the Cardinals game and not return on Sunday, casting a shadow over his availability on TNF. On Tuesday, Seumalo was a limited participant which was a positive sign for his TNF availability. Seumalo heads into the Patriots game as questionable after a limited participation level on Wednesday.
- Keeanu Benton: Easily the best player on the Steelers side of the field on Sunday, Benton was listed as limited on Monday's estimated injury report, a surprise no one wanted. On Tuesday, Benton was a limited participant which was a good sign and after Wednesday, he was listed as limited but has no designation heading into TNF, meaning he should be good to go.
- Mason Cole: Pittsburgh's starting center may have struggled on Sunday, with multiple bad snaps including one that caused a turnover. Cole took responsibility, however, and was also a late addition to the injury report on Monday with a neck injury. On Tuesday, Cole was a limited participant. In the final report of the week, Cole was listed as questionable after a linted participation level.
