The Pittsburgh Steelers officially released their Week 16 Injury Report on Wednesday evening. They enter their Week 16 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders banged up at a number of critical positions. The good news is their rookie quarterback Kenny Pickett was a full practice participant on Wednesday. While he has thrown eight interceptions during a very up and down rookie campaign, he has cleaned up the interceptions during his last few appearances. There was also plenty of bad news for the Steelers’ roster on Wednesday evening for a number of critical offensive players. Wide receiver Diontae Johnson did not practice on Wednesday due to a toe injury. Their star running back Najee Harris also did not practice due to his injured hip.
Then there were other key defensive players that weren’t available on Wednesday. Steelers’ safety Terrell Edmunds was dealing with a hamstring injury. Stud tight end Pat Freiermuth was a full practice participant, even though he’s been dealing with a foot injury recently. Steelers’ defensive linemen Cameron Heyward and Larry Ogunjobi have both rested for much of the season. Heyward was a full practice participant on Wednesday, but Ogunjobi did not practice.
Steelers’ linebacker Myles Jack was a limited practice participant on Wednesday. He’s been dealing with a groin injury.
Below is a look at the full injury report.
