Steelers Get Good Injury News for Key Defensive Starter
Pittsburgh Steelers Injury Updates: Defensive tackle Larry Ogunjobi has been upgraded from questionable to expected to play.
PITTSBURGH —The Pittsburgh Steelers got good injury news for key defensive starter Larry Ogunjobi on Saturday.
Ogunjobi suffered a groin injury during practice on Thursday and was listed as a limited participant in each of the team’s final two practices this week. On Friday, the Steelers listed him as questionable to play in the team’s Week 5 Sunday Night Football home date against the Dallas Cowboys.
But after the team’s walkthrough on Saturday, the Steelers have upgraded Ogunjobi from questionable to no injury status for the game. That means he is expected to suit up against the Cowboys on Sunday night.
The 30-year-old Ogunjobi has started all three games for the Steelers this season and has started in 31 consecutive games for the team, dating back to Nov. 13, 2022. That’s the longest starting streak of any member of the Steelers defense and the second-longest of anyone on the team to Najee Harris, who has started 57 consecutive games to start his NFL career.
