Pittsburgh Steelers vs Baltimore Ravens Wednesday injury report
Ahead of their matchup with the Baltimore Ravens this week, the Pittsburgh Steelers have their injury report available from Wednesday’s practice. Trai Turner and Dan Moore Jr. were both held out from practice, while Ben Roethlisberger continues to battle a pectoral injury that’s plagued him the entire back-half of the season.
Steelers vs Ravens Wednesday injury report
Did Not Practice – Steelers: LB Buddy Johnson (Foot), G Trai Turner (Knee), T Dan Moore Jr. (Ankle)
Steelers offensive linemen Turner and Moore Jr. were both out with injuries on Wednesday, dealing with injuries against the Browns on Monday night. In addition to their injuries, linebacker Buddy Johnson is still dealing with a foot injury that forced him to miss the game against the Browns.
“We’ll monitor those guys and let their participation and the quality of their participation be our guide in terms of planning as we push through the week,” said head coach Mike Tomlin on Tuesday.
The Steelers health will be a major focus as they prepare for the Ravens. Pittsburgh does not have the luxury of resting anybody this week as their path to the playoff is a must-win game with the Ravens and some help beyond their control.
Limited Participation – Steelers: QB Ben Roethlisberger (Pectoral/Right Shoulder), CB Terrell Edmunds (Groin), C Kendrick Green (Calf)
Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger’s shoulder and pectoral injury keeps him limited in practice again, but it’s unlikely that he would miss the must-win game. If the Steelers can pull off the unlikely and make the playoffs, the final season of Roethlisberger’s career will continue.
If they lose or don’t get the help they need, Sunday will likely mark the end of the phenomenal career for the Steelers’ star quarterback.
