PITTSBURGH — Four Pittsburgh Steelers regulars got good news regarding their injury status for Sunday’s Week 11 game against the Baltimore Ravens, as running back Najee Harris, cornerback Donte Jackson, outside linebacker Nick Herbig and wide receiver Van Jefferson are all expected to play, the team announced on Friday.

Harris suffered a right ankle injury during the team’s 28-28 win over the Washington Commanders on Sunday. He missed Wednesday’s practice, but fully participated in each of the last two sessions of the week and was cleared to play on Friday. Backup Jaylen Warren is listed as questionable after not practicing on Wednesday and being limited on Thursday.

Jackson appears set to return at cornerback after leaving the Washington game with a hamstring injury. He also missed Wednesday’s practice, but was full go on Thursday and Friday. Jackson had been replaced by James Pierre against the Commanders.

Herbig will be back in action after missing four games with a hamstring injury suffered against the Dallas Cowboys. The timing of his return is fortunate, as starting right outside linebacker Alex Highsmith will miss this game with an ankle injury. Herbig and Preston Smith are expected to share playing time,

Jefferson unexpectedly popped up on the injury report on Wednesday when he missed practice with a quad injury, but he also got in two straight days of work and should be good to go for Sunday.
