Steelers Boast Healthy Team Out of Bye Week
PITTSBURGH — The Steelers come into the week with a clean bill of health, as no one missed practice on Wednesday. That includes Diontae Johnson (hamstring) and Anthony McFarland (knee), who are in the first week of their 21-day window to return to the team’s active roster. They practiced fully, and both players expect to play on Sunday against the Rams. If that happens, two roster moves must be made.
The only limited participant due to injury was rookie outside linebacker Nick Herbig, who had a quad injury. Cornerback Patrick Peterson was limited and given a rest day. However, the team got excellent news outside of that across the roster with the return of many banged-up players.
Tight end Pat Freiermuth (hamstring) was a full participant. Left tackle Dan Moore Jr. (knee) and guard James Daniels (groin) both missed time with their injuries, but both are back on the field at full capacity. Lastly, punter Pressley Harvin III (hamstring) https://twitter.com/ASaunders_PGH/status/1714748072582889739″>punted
on Wednesday and looks ready to go after the team released Brad Wing following his two solid games with the Steelers.

Pittsburgh is not expected to have anyone miss time due to injury. It’s the healthiest the Steelers have been since training camp, and they are raring to go out of the bye week. Meanwhile, the Rams are banged up, and running backs Ronnie Rivers and Kyren Williams will miss Sunday’s game.
