Pittsburgh Steelers release Thursday injury report vs. the New York Jets

The latest injury report for the Pittsburgh Steelers is out ahead of their game against the New York Jets on Sunday at 1 p.m. ET. Overall, things are trending in the right direction for the Steelers.

The only change from Wednesday into Thursday for the Steelers is that defensive tackle Larry Ogunjobi got a day of rest on Thursday and did not participate in practice. The Steelers do this frequently with veteran players, as All-Pro defensive lineman Cam Heyward has gotten similar rest in past weeks.

Further, star safety Minkah Fitzpatrick has been a full participant while working back from a concussion and appears to be headed in the right direction while remaining in the concussion protocol. Getting the safety back would be a boon, because for as long as the Steelers defense is without TJ Watt, they’ll need players like Fitzpatrick on the field playing their best.

The secondary is the biggest concern for Pittsburgh because along with Fitzpatrick, cornerback Ahkello Witherspoon did not practice for the second day in a row with a hamstring injury.

Notably for the Jets, second-year quarterback Zach Wilson has been a full participant in practice this week and could make his regular-season debut this weekend.
