Pittsburgh Steelers release Thursday injury report vs Cincinnati Bengals

Fresh off last week’s win over the New Orleans Saints, the Pittsburgh Steelers are gearing up for a big divisional matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals this week. The injury report showed some potential question marks, though.

Pittsburgh released its second injury report of the week, featuring four players who didn’t participate. T.J. Watt and Cameron Heyward are the biggest names on the list, but they were out to rest and don’t have specific injuries listed. Watt came back from a pectoral injury last week against New Orleans and appears to be ready to go this week against Cincinnati.

Running back Najee Harris also appeared on the injury report as a full participant in Thursday’s practice as he deals with a knee injury. Additionally, safety Minkah Fitzpatrick practiced in full for the first time after suffering from appendicitis and missing last week’s matchup with the Saints. He missed Wednesday’s practice as he works his way back.

The Steelers enter Week 11 tied for third with the Cleveland Browns in the AFC North with a 3-6 record. They’ll have a chance to make some noise against a Bengals team they defeated 23-20 in Week 1. Cincinnati is second in the division behind the Baltimore Ravens, meaning Pittsburgh has a chance to play spoiler as teams prepare for the stretch run. The game kicks off Sunday at 4:25 p.m. ET.

Here’s Pittsburgh’s full injury report for Thursday.
