The second half of the Pittsburgh Steelers season is here. 

Bracing for a tough stretch that starts with a big test against the Washington Commanders, Pittsburgh is going to need all the help it can get. 

Well, on Wednesday, we got a look into how healthy the team is heading into Week 10:

Steelers Week 10 Injury Report (Wednesday)

Observations 

  • Justin Fields: After suffering a hamstring injury in the final practice ahead of the New York Giants game, Fields was inactive in Week 8, but his full participation after the bye week bodes well for his backup status and the potential unveiling of the Justin Fields package 
  • Ben Skowronek: The special teams ace and dirty work player at WR had his practice window opened for the first time since going on the injured reserve 
  • Terrell Edmunds: Out with an illness on Wednesday, we will monitor how the depth piece at safety comes along
  • Tyler Matakevich: "Dirty Red" as he's been nicknamed by Steelers fans is progressing nicely on his return from his hamstring injury 
  • Nick Herbig: For the first time in weeks, Herbig practiced albeit in a limited capacity after injuring his hamstring. We'll see if he can graduate to a full participation level later in the week
  • Zach Frazier: To see the rookie stud and starting center return to practice is a great sign for the Steelers line, but especially when you consider he's already a full participant at this point in the week
  • Cordarrelle Patterson: A terrific depth piece at RB, Patterson. has been unavailable since the Indianapolis Colts game, but a full participation level bodes well for his return against the Commanders.
