The Pittsburgh Steelers wrapped up the final practice of Ravens week on a fast Thursday. 

With Pittsburgh basically in a must-win scenario, health will be a determining factor in their postseason run. 

Luckily for them, Thursday should give the team a boost of confidence heading into Saturday's game:

Steelers Latest Injury Report, Week 18 at Ravens

Observations:

  • Najee Harris: Harris was a nonparticipant with the same knee injury that he has been dealing with for over a month. Harris has played through the injury, so unless he suffered a setback, it's doubtful he will miss the Ravens game. That was confirmed on Thursday as Harris returned to practice and will be ready for Saturday. 
  • Minkah Fitzpatrick: After missing back-to-back games with a knee injury, Coach Tomlin said they expect to see Minkah participate in some form or fashion this week, which would be progress considering two straight weeks of DNP's. On Tuesday, Minkah still did not participate. On Wednesday, Fitzpatrick returned to practice in a limited capacity, which is a good sign for his return. On Thursday, Fitzpatrick was limited again and is officially questionable for Saturday. 
  • Elandon Roberts: Roberts raised some eyebrows when he told reporters that we shouldn't rule out his return in Week 18, and Coach Tomlin backed that up on Monday, saying he expects Roberts to participate at some point this week. On Tuesday, Roberts was a nonparticipant, but we'll see where things go as the week progresses. On Wednesday, Roberts also returned to practice in a limited capacity, proving he may live up to his word ahead of Saturday.  He practiced again on Thursday and told the media he would be ready for the Ravens game.
