Steelers release final injury report for Week 9 against the Bears

The Pittsburgh Steelers have released their final injury report ahead of a Monday night matchup against the Chicago Bears. Pittsburgh is currently 4-3 and in third place in the AFC North behind Baltimore and Cincinnati.

It’s an extremely tight race with less than two games separating all four teams. Below is the full injury report for the Steelers-Bears.

Steelers-Bears injury report

Out — Steelers: TE Eric Ebron (ankle).

After being limited on Friday, Ebron did not practice Saturday. He missed Week 8 with the same injury. Rookie tight end Pat Freiermuth, who has become more involved recently, should continue to play plenty.

Out — Bears: QB Nick Foles (non-injury/personal/illness), TE J.P. Holtz (concussion), LB Khalil Mack (foot), RB Damien Williams (knee), DB Eddie Jackson (hamstring).

Mack is set to sit out his second consecutive week due to a foot injury. It is a huge loss for the defense, which struggled to apply much pressure without him this past week. The loss of Williams depletes the backfield, though David Montgomery is eligible to return from injury this week. Jackson out means another start for DeAndre Houston-Carson at safety.

Questionable — Steelers: OL BJ Finney (back).

Finney did not practice Friday, but got limited work in Saturday. He is the only Steeler listed as questionable, with all other injured players seemingly good to go. That includes safety Minkah Fitzpatrick, quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and defensive tackle Cam Heyward.

Questionable — Bears: LB Alec Ogltree (ankle), WR Darnell Mooney (groin).

Mooney practiced in a limited fashion on both Friday and Saturday. If he is unable to go, it would be a huge loss for rookie quarterback Justin Fields and the offense. With the defense already missing a pair of key players, Chicago fans will hope Ogletree can give it a go Monday.

The Bears are by far the more banged up of the two teams, and will look to fight through that in this prime time game.
