Pittsburgh Steelers release injury report for AFC North clash vs. Bengals

The Pittsburgh Steelers released their final injury report just hours ahead of Sunday’s game versus the Cincinnati Bengals.

The Sunday afternoon matchup is a key divisional battle. Mike Tomlin’s squad needs this win to move past the Bengals for second in the AFC North. Luckily, the Steelers’ are much healthier this week and return at least two key defensive stars.

Linebacker T.J. Watt, who sustained a hip and knee injury against the Lions, practiced for the third straight day, and while he was limited on Wednesday and Thursday, he was a full participant on Friday.

Defensive end Isaiahh Loudermilk, who suffered a groin injury in practice last week and missed the Chargers game, was a full participant for the second straight day. 

While there were several names listed on the injury report throughout the week including quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, the final list should give Steelers’ fans plenty of optimism heading into a critical matchup.

Tight end Eric Ebron is out on the injured reserve, but that isn’t a major surprise.
