In a short week with a lot on the line, the Pittsburgh Steelers had their first and last real practice of the week on Wednesday. 

Hoping to make a playoff run, the Steelers will need all of their stars if they are not only to get in, but win in the postseason. 

Here's what Wednesday's injury report told us about the state of the team:

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. 
  • 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. 
  • 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.
