Friday is typically the final day of preparation in the NFL, but it's different for the Pittsburgh Steelers this week. 

That's because the Steelers will take on the Cleveland Browns in front of the whole nation on Monday Night Football

So after a first day of practice that had some unfortunate findings, here is the latest injury situation ahead of the Steelers' Week 2 matchup:

Injury Report Day 2, Week 2

Injury Report Observations

  • The main takeaway is that Freiermuth is off the injury report and will be ready to go for Monday Night, as the Steelers will desperately need him, seeing as they are already down Diontae Johnson who was a non-participant
  • Back-to-back missed practices for McFarland doesn't bode well for his status on Monday, meaning a potential practice squad call-up could ensue
  • Larry Ogunjobi seemingly took a step back today, seeing as he was limited yesterday followed by no participation today. I would like to say it was rest, but seeing as that was listed for Seumalo, we may be looking at a re-aggravation. 
  • The right side of the offensive line with Daniels and Okorafor continues to be limited with Chuks as the main concern considering he has to pass through concussion protocol before he can play.
