Pittsburgh Steelers release Friday injury report for Week 12 matchup vs Colts

The Pittsburgh Steelers are in the middle of a rough season during their 2022 campaign. They currently sit at 3-7 overall and will face a resurgent Indianapolis Colts team on Monday night that has been playing much better the past few weeks under their new head coach, Jeff Saturday. Let’s take a look at the notable items on the Friday injury report.

Defensive stars TJ Watt and Cameron Heyward headline the players who did not participate in practice for the second straight day. However, the reason behind that was so they could rest. The Steelers have done that before this season with these two, so it can be assumed that they’ll be alright.

Steelers corner Ahkello Witherspoon continues to be sidelined and missed practice yet again due to a hamstring injury. He’s missed six of the last seven games. Steelers’ running back Jaylen Warren didn’t practice. He suffered what head coach Mike Tomlin called “not a significant” hamstring injury against the Cincinnati Bengals. The ailment has forced Warren to miss practice for the last two days.

Steelers’ tight end Connor Heyward missed Friday’s practice due to an illness. Pittsburgh’s newly acquired wide receiver Miles Boykin injured his oblique against the Cincinnati Bengals. He didn’t practice on Thursday, but finally returned to the practice field on Friday as a limited participant.
