Steelers catch huge break before Dublin showdown with Vikings

The Pittsburgh Steelers are gearing up for their international game in Dublin, Ireland, against the Minnesota Vikings, and Mike Tomlin's team just caught a major break. The team officially announced on Friday that Pro Bowl outside linebacker Andrew Van Ginkel has been ruled out for Sunday's game with a neck injury.

Van Ginkel isn't the only Vikings starter who will be absent this week. Starting guard Donovan Jackson will miss this week's contest against the Steelers with a wrist injury. Meanwhile, second-year quarterback and 2024 first-round pick J.J. McCarthy remains sidelined with a high ankle sprain.
