The Pittsburgh Steelers arent even 24 hours removed from a tough loss against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
But with the bye-week behind them, there is no rest for the weary, especially with a game in less than three days.
Here is where Pittsburgh stands on the health front ahead of Thursday night vs. the Tennessee Titans, with a Monday edition of Tomlin Tuesday's:
Steelers Injury Update:
- Minkah Fitzpatrick: The All-Pro safety left early on Sunday and was ruled out basically immediately with what was called a hamstring injury. Obviously, that was only the initial diagnosis, and a more thorough examination as well as MRI imaging after the game had occurred, with Coach Tomlin saying he will be out this week with a hamstring.
- Kenny Pickett: Pittsburgh's signal caller was injured just before the end of the first half on Sunday, seemingly holding his shoulder girdle after a heavy hit. Pickett would then come out of halftime listed as probable, even attempting to throw, before immediately being ruled out when it was evident he couldn't place the ball how he wanted even when playing catch. Coach T said "The door is definitely ajar for Kenny" and he will be a game-time decision before the Titans game. The big news is that there is no structural damage to what is officially listed as a rib injury.
