Pittsburgh Steelers release Thursday injury report vs Baltimore Ravens

As the Pittsburgh Steelers get ready for Sunday’s matchup with the Baltimore Ravens, they’re working to get fully healthy. Some big names missed practice Thursday, according to the latest injury report.

Linebacker T.J. Watt missed practice after participating in a limited capacity on Wednesday as he deals with a rib injury. Additionally, wide receiver Diontae Johnson went from a limited participant to a DNP due to a hip injury. Those are two injuries to monitor entering this week’s game.

It’s not all bad news, though. Running back Najee Harris was upgraded to a limited participant as he works his way back from an oblique injury and linebacker Malik Reed went from missing Wednesday’s practice to participating in full on Thursday. Harris played in last week’s game against the Atlanta Falcons, rushing for 86 yards, but appears to still be hampered by an oblique injury that knocked him out of the game against the Indianapolis Colts on Nov. 29.

Although defensive lineman Cameron Heyward appeared on Thursday’s injury report, he was simply resting as a coaches decision and wasn’t listed with an injury.

Pittsburgh is coming off a 19-16 win over the Falcons in Atlanta last week to improve to 5-7 on the season. The Steelers now return home for this week’s divisional matchup against Baltimore, which is dealing with a big injury of its own. Lamar Jackson is dealing with a knee injury and is likely going to miss the game, meaning the Ravens are likely to turn to Tyler Huntley under center.

Here’s the Steelers’ full injury report for Thursday.
