The Pittsburgh Steelers are heading into the biggest test of the year against the Dallas Cowboys.
Both teams are facing major concerns, with the Cowboys taking a big blow to their WR corps on Wednesday.
Well, things were mixed for the Steelers in their first injury report of the week. Here's everything we found out:
Steelers Week 5 Injury Report (Wednesday)
Observations:
- QB Russell Wilson: Despite the statement from Mike Tomlin that Wilson would ramp up his participation level, Wilson was still limited on Wednesday.
- RB Jaylen Warren: Nursing a knee injury that is separate from his hamstring, Warren is likely to be out again against the Cowboys given his status on Wednesday.
- OLB Nick Herbig: Perhaps the most concerning of the nonparticipants, Herbig is starting in place of Alex Highsmith who also is out against the Cowboys. Ankles are tricky, so we'll see if he can go in the latter part of the week
- OL Isaac Seumalo: Back as a full participant for the fist time all season, the news bodes well for a Steelers line that has been decimated by injuries
- RB Cordarrelle Patterson: Patterson was injured against the Indianapolis Colts, unable to finish the game despite a strong start. His status should be monitored closely
- DT Keeanu Benton: Benton was a part of Coach Tomlin's Tuesday rundown of injuries, and while it's not great to see him on the report, a limited designation is better than no participation
