With a report on Thursday morning that Benny Snell Jr. had a surgical procedure on his knee, he was unable to practice and is expected to miss a few games. Jaylen Samuels continues to to be a full participant in practice and is expected to play Sunday. As for James Conner, he was unfortunately not one of the players who returned on Thursday. Although it would have been nice to see him in at least a limited role, Friday will be a true test on if Conner is able to take the field Sunday.
Ramon Foster is still in the concussion protocol and was unable to practice again on Thursday. Daniel McCullers was another player injured in Monday’s game and was unable to practice on Wednesday due to his ankle injury, but he returned as a full participant on Thursday.
Players who were given Wednesday off in order to heal from various issues returned Thursday. Both Mark Barron and Vance McDonald were full participants. Maurkice Pouncey was held out of practice due to his calf injury on Wednesday, which is his typical day off in-season. Pouncey returned Thursday as a full participant.
The another player on the injury report was Ulysees Gilbert III who was limited with his back injury which held him out of the game Week 8. Gilbert was a full participant on Thursday and is on track to be available this week.
As for the Colts injury report, it can be seen below according to Steelers.com.
