Steelers Injury Report 12/17

[Steeler Nation]

The Pittsburgh Steelers finished up practice on Friday in preparation for Sunday’s game at Heinz Field against the Tennessee Titans. Outside linebackers T.J. Watt (groin) and Alex Highsmith (quadriceps) were both FULL participants for the second straight day and both are expected to play on Sunday!

T.J. Watt also had the groin issue earlier this season, but amounts the injuries this season to bad luck:

A surprise addition to the injury report today was rookie linebacker, Buddy Johnson. He will be OUT on Sunday. The good news is that cornerback Joe Haden was a full participant after missing the last four games with a foot injury. He is questionable for Sunday.

Joe Haden back?

I copied this from my other post.

Haden practiced in full today so that's good. Buggs is now injured and questionable. Good thing Spillane is back because Johnson is now out. I guess with Adams on COVID, Davis may get the start at NT. Then again, we can just go with 2 DL and get run over for 200+ again.

So who starts at ILB Bush or Spillane?

Bush but they rotate them. Passing downs Bush, rushing Spillane.
