The Pittsburgh Steelers will be traveling to take on the Baltimore Ravens in a stand-alone game on Saturday afternoon.
And while the implications are massive for Pittsburgh, the same can't be said for Baltimore.
So if Pittsburgh wants to take the easiest path to the playoffs, it starts with a win in Baltimore and a healthy team. We received some info on the latter following Tuesday's practice:
Steelers Latest Injury Report, Week 18 at Ravens
Observations:
- Kenny Pickett: For the first time since Dec. 4th, Pickett was a full participant in practice, yet will remain the number two QB after his benching from Coach Tomlin.
- T.J. Watt: Watt was seen leaving the game against Seattle with an undisclosed injury. Hoping to gain clarity on what Watt was dealing with, Coach Tomlin didn't add much during his weekly presser, saying that he had not checked in on Watt since Sunday night, and he could be limited or even miss practice early in the week, but doesn't assume it's overly serious. On Tuesday, Watt told reporters that he would play against the Ravens and wasn't even on the team's injury report.
- 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.
- 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.
- Trenton Thompson: Thompson has missed multiple games with a stinger, forcing the Steelers to resort to practice squad players and traditional corners to play safety. Getting both he and Fitzpatrick back would be a welcomed surprise in the Steelers' secondary. We gained clarity on his situation on Tuesday, with Thompson returning in a limited capacity.
