In a pivotal Week 12 Thursday Night Football matchup, the Pittsburgh Steelers (8-2) will visit the Cleveland Browns (2-8) at Huntington Bank Field.
The Steelers, riding a five-game winning streak, aim to solidify their lead in the AFC North, while the Browns, grappling with injuries and recent struggles, seek to reverse their fortunes in this divisional clash.
In this article, we’ll break down the most impactful injuries and how they will affect the game.
On the offense, the O-Line has been a problem spot all year missing starters C Nate Herbig, RT James Daniels and RT Troy Fautanu but has been solidified as the Steelers have covered the issues. RB Jaylen Warren will push through his back injury.
Defensively the main concern is edge rusher Alex Highsmith who is dealing with an ankle issue and likely to miss this week, otherwise they have been healthy in recent weeks.
The Browns have several key injuries on both sides of the ball.
On the offense the Left Tackle spot is an issue with Dawand Jones out for the season (fibula) and Jedrick Wills nursing a knee issue for most of season. The Browns continue with QB Jameis Winston as Deshaun Watson is out for the season and Nick Chubb is still not 100% as he plays through knee issue.
Defensively top CB Denzel Ward is nursing a chest injury, he was an LP Wednesday and may miss time.
Myles Garrett is nursing a hip injury, he was an LP Wednesday but likely to play through.
