The Pittsburgh Steelers moving along through the 2024 NFL season and are heading back out on the road in Week 4 to face the Colts in Indianapolis. As the Steelers took the practice field for their second official day of preparation for Indy, there were six players who did not participate while two were limited. In the second injury report of the week courtesy of the Steelers PR Department, two new names appear on the list, but were not due to injury.

Pittsburgh Steelers Participation/Injury Report, Week 4

Thursday, September 26

No. 3 QB Russell Wilson (Calf) – Limited
No. 10 WR Roman Wilson (Ankle) – Full
No. 11 WR Van Jefferson (Eye) – Full
No. 22 RB Najee Harris (NIR – Rest) – Full
No. 25 S DeShon Elliott (Quadricep) – Full
No. 26 CB Donte Jackson (NIR – Rest) – Full
No. 30 RB Jaylen Warren (Knee) – DNP
No. 56 LB Alex Highsmith (Groin) – DNP
No. 73 OG Isaac Seumalo (Pectoral) – Limited
No. 81 TE MyCole Pruitt (Knee) – DNP
No. 90 LB T.J. Watt (NIR – Rest) – Full
No. 97 DT Cameron Heyward (NIR – Rest) – DNP
No. 99 DL Larry Ogunjobi (NIR – Rest) – Full
No. 28 S Miles Killebrew (NIR – Rest) – DNP
No. 84 RB/KR Cordarrelle Patterson (NIR – Rest) – DNP

What might be the most encouraging designation on this list was seeing Isaac Seumalo as a limited participant on Wednesday. Seumalo has missed the Steelers first three games with a pectoral injury and had yet to practice since the injury occurred ahead of Week 1. Seumalo once again was limited on Thursday, which is a good sign he did not go in the wrong direction.

As for looking at things on the discouraging end, running back Jaylen Warren was unable to practice on Wednesday due to his knee injury. On Thursday, Warren was once again unable to practice which puts his availability for Sunday highly in question.

There were five names on the injury list on Wednesday that were not due to injury but for players getting rest. Even though he was seen to have his arm in a sling on Monday, Harris didn’t practice on Wednesday but did not have an injury designation. The other four players on the report that were not injury related were listed as limited on Wodenesday and include Donte Jackson, T.J. Watt, Cameron Heyward, and Larry Ogunjobi. On Thursday, all players returned as a full participants except for Cam Heyward who was given his typical Thursday off.

There were also two names on the injury report of players who were full participants on Wednesday. Although he returned at the end of the game after missing most of the contest, Van Jefferson is on the injury report with his eye injury but he was a full participant Wednesday. Wide receiver Roman Wilson, who has yet to make his NFL debut and was a healthy scratch in Week 3, was once again a full participant Wednesday coming off of his high ankle sprain he sustained in training camp. Thursday saw both players once again full participants, a good sign they will both be available for Sunday if needed.

After being the third quarterback the last two games due to a calf injury, quarterback Russell Wilson is continuing to work his way back into the lineup as Justin Fields gets more preparation. On Wednesday, Wilson was once again limited as Coach Tomlin said he would be in his press conference. Thursday brought another limited designation for Wilson, likely locking him in as the third quarterback again this week.

A previously unknown injury that showed up on Wednesday’s injury report was safety DeShon Elliott being limited with a quadricep issue. On Thursday, Elliott was back as a full participants.

The other two players who did not participate in Wednesday’s or Thursday’s practice had already been ruled out for this week by head coach Mike Tomlin during his press conference on Tuesday. Both Alex Highsmith with his groin and MyCole Pruitt with a knee injury did not practice either day, as expected.

The two new names on Thursday were safety Miles Killebrew and running back/wide receiver Cordarrelle Patterson.Both players have no injury designation and were merely given the day off.
