The Steelers have ruled out receiver Ben Skowronek and cornerback Brandin Echols for Sunday's game in Paris against the Saints.
The Pittsburgh Steelers have ruled out receiver Ben Skowronek and cornerback Brandin Echols for Sunday's game in Paris against the Saints. Skowronek will miss his second consecutive game with a calf injury, and Echols left early from last week's game at Tampa Bay with a hamstring injury. Neither player practised on Thursday.
Likebacker T.J. Watt was added to the injury report with a calf injury and was limited in practice Thursday, along with cornerback Jalen Ramsey (wrist), running back Rico Dowdle (knee) and linebacker Alex Highsmith (groin). Defensive lineman Cameron Heyward was given a second consecutive day off for rest.
Safety DeShon Elliott, who has been working his way back from injured reserve, was a full participant in practice for the second consecutive day. Coach Mike McCarthy left open the possibility that Elliott could be activated for Sunday's game, though the team has not yet announced any roster move. The team has until 29 October to either activate him or leave him on the injury reserve list for the remainder of the season.
