Ahead of their Week 6 meeting in Las Vegas versus the Raiders, the Pittsburgh Steelers have made available their final injury report. Due to a calf injury, tight end Pat Freiermuth was limited during practice on Thursday. However, on Friday, he was cleared to fully participate and does not have a game designation, indicating that he will play on Sunday. This gives the Steelers’ offense a big boost.
For the first time this season, quarterback Russell Wilson—who has been struggling with a calf injury—was not assigned a game designation, meaning that he will back up Justin Fields this week. Wilson’s return increases the chance of a change in position should the offense continue to struggle, even if it is not anticipated that he will immediately recover the starting spot.
Running back Jaylen Warren is labeled as questionable for the game. Warren has been dealing with a knee issue since Week 3. He was limited in practice all week. Alongside starter Najee Harris, his comeback might significantly improve the run game, even though he might not start with a full workload.
Security Damontae Kazee, who hurt his ankle in the pre-game warm-ups before the Cowboys game in Week 5, missed all of this week’s practices and is out of the Raiders game. MyCole Pruitt, a tight end who has been limited in practice since suffering a knee injury in Week 2, will also be out on Sunday.
