With six weeks of regular season football left, the Pittsburgh Steelers are nearing the home stretch.
Sitting pretty in terms of playoff positioning, the team will need to be at full strength if they want to be a postseason dark horse.
Coach Tomlin just gave us some insight on that, including an update on one of Pittsburgh's best players:
Steelers Week 13 Injury Update
- Minkah Fitzpatrick: Nearing a month since he last played, Fitzpatrick still hasn't practiced since suffering the hamstring injury that has sidelined him since the beginning of the Jaguars game. That looks to be ending, however, as the optimism surrounding his return is high, with Coach Tomlin telling reporters: " We'll keep the light on for Minkah." He will practice tomorrow according to Tomlin.
- Calvin Austin: Austin left the game against the Bengals on Sunday late in the fourth with an apparent ankle injury. Coach Tomlin didn't divulge much more than that in his postgame presser, but that was different today, with Coach T saying: "Calvin experienced an ankle injury but it looks significantly better two days after."
- Montavius Adams: Adams was back at practice last week but still missed the game with his ankle injury. Coach Tomlin said they also expect him back at practice this week.
- Kenny Pickett: A surprise update, Coach Tomlin told reporters that "Kenny is experiencing some slight ankle discomfort that will limit him early in the week."
