The Pittsburgh Steelers have released the team’s first injury report of the week ahead of Sunday’s matchup against the New England Patriots. Per the team’s release, five players did not practice Wednesday: CB Darius Slay (rest), CB Joey Porter Jr. (hamstring), SS DeShon Elliott (knee), EDGE Alex Highsmith (ankle), and EDGE T.J. Watt (rest). OL Max Scharping (knee) and DL Derrick Harmon (knee) were limited while LB Patrick Queen (oblique) worked in full.
A long injury report comes as little surprise after Mike Tomlin rattled off a laundry list of names during his Tuesday press conference.
