Pittsburgh Steelers Participation/Injury Report, Week 8

Wednesday, October 26

DB Josh Jackson (Groin) - DNP

CB Ahkello Witherspoon (Hamstring) - FP

CB Levi Wallace (Shoulder) - DNP

DT Montravius Adams (Hamstring) - DNP

WR Steven Sims (Hamstring) - LP

TE Pat Freiermuth (Ankle) - LP

DT Larry Ogunjobi (Knee) - DNP

Looking first at the players who missed the Steelers most recent game, both Ahkello Witherspoon and Steven Sims were out due to hamstring injuries. Witherspoon practiced last week each day, granted two of them were limited, and was doubtful going into the game. Sims was unable to practice at all last week and was ruled out on Friday. This week, Ahkello Witherspoon starts off as a full participant while Steven Sims was limited.

One injury that came up during the game was Levi Wallace hurting his shoulder on the Steelers last defensive play of the night other than a kneel down. There was not a lot of optimism from Mike Tomlin in his press conference when it came to Wallace‘s availability this week. On Wednesday, Wallace was unable to take the practice field.

Another player mentioned in the injury report during Tuesdays press conference was cornerback Josh Jackson with a groin injury. Expecting he may be limited early in the week, Jackson was unable to practice on Wednesday.

There were three other players on the injury report which were not mentioned by Coach Tomlin on Tuesday. Montravous Adams did not practice due to a hamstring and neither did Larry Ogunjobi due to a knee. Pat Freiermuth is listed as having an ankle injury and was limited in practice.
