While most of the nation was out searching for Black Friday deals, business was being handled on the Southside.
The final practice of the week ahead of their game against the Cincinnati Bengals, it's a pivotal matchup for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Here's what we found out in terms of player availability:
Steelers Week 13 Injury Report (Friday)
Takeaways:
- Cory Trice Jr.: Trice had been practicing in a full capacity for two weeks and after 10 days of rest, was thought to be a prime candidate to return against the Bengals. He was limited on Thursday however and then again on Friday, meaning he’s out for Sunday
- Alex Highsmith: Despite the sense of optimism from Coach Tomlin, Highsmith was still absent from practice on Wednesday and he was seen watching drills off to the side during the media availability portion of the session. But on Thursday he practiced in a limited capacity before finishing the week as doubtful for Sunday
- Montravius Adams: The Steelers opened the 21-day practice window for Adams who has been a key depth piece along the interior of the defensive line when healthy. Adams will miss the game against the Bengals
- Damontae Kazee: After missing Thursday's practice due to an illness, Kazee is off the report and ready for Sunday
- Keeanu Benton: Benton popped up on the injury report on Thursday with a hip injury, but on Friday, he was a full participant and is set to play against Cincy.
