3 Steelers players ruled out for Sunday’s game against the Eagles
The Pittsburgh Steelers are moving along through the 2024 NFL season and are back on the road for their final NFC matchup of the regular season. As the Steelers took the practice field for their second day with a required injury report in preparation for the Eagles, there were three players who did not participate while two were limited. In the final injury report of the week courtesy of the Steelers PR Department, three players have been ruled out and two are questionable for Sunday’s game.

No. 99 DT Larry Ogunjobi (Groin) – DNP** In designated 21-day window to return from Reserved/Injured List
One player who is extremely likely to miss the upcoming game is wide receiver George Pickens who also missed the Steelers Week 14 win over the Browns with a hamstring injury. It was not surprising to see Pickens did not participate in practice all week and has been ruled out for Sunday’s game.
Two players who are dinged up from the previous game Mike Tomlin mentioned in his Tuesday press conference who could be limited early in the week were Larry Ogunjobi with a groin injury and DeShon Elliott with a hamstring injury. On Wednesday, neither player suited up to participate. Thursday and Friday brought the same result with neither player participating as both have been ruled out for Sunday.
One name that appears on the list is a player who is not on the 53-man roster but has had his 21-day windows open to return from the Reserve/Injured List (IR). Montravius Adams had his 21-day window opened the last Wednesday in November as he is working back from a knee injury. All week Adams was a full participant. Adams is listed as questionable as the big issue is whether or not the Steelers will bring him back to the 53-man roster.
The other six names on the Steelers injury report on Wednesday were all players who missed time due to rest and were not injury related. Those players were linebacker Patrick Queen, running back Najee Harris, wide receiver Mike Williams, guard Isaac Seumalo, linebacker T.J. Watt, and defensive tackle Cam Heyward. On Thursday, Queen, Williams, Harris, Seumalo, and Watt all returned to practice. Cam Heyward had another day off on Thursday while three other players joined him. Linebacker Elandon Robers, tight end MyCole Pruitt, and running back Cordarrelle Patterson all had a day off due to rest on Thursday. Friday saw all players who were not injured back at practice.
There were two players who were limited in practice Friday with two very different circumstances. Offensive tackle Calvin Anderson was limited with a groin injury and is quesionable to play on Sunday. T.J. Watt, who was a non-injury DNP on Wednesday, had “illness” added to his injury reason and was limited on Friday. While this is concerning, Watt does not have an injury status for Sunday’s game.
