Steelers Get Good Injury News for Three Players
Pittsburgh Steelers Injury Updates: The Steelers got good news about three injured players on Thursday, including running back Jaylen Warren.
PITTSBURGH — The Pittsburgh Steelers got some bad injury news on Thursday, with quarterback Russell Wilson limited in practice and tight end Darnell Washington missing the session altogether, but the Black and Gold did get some good injury news as it looks ahead to the season opener against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday.
Steelers running back Jaylen Warren, cornerback Cory Trice and tackle Troy Fautanu were all full participants in the team’s practice on Thursday, and appear to be in good shape to at least dress for Sunday’s opener.
Warren has been recovering from a hamstring injury suffered in the second preseason game against the Buffalo Bills. He has expressed consistent confidence that he’ll be able to suit up in Atlanta, and after being limited on Wednesday, being a full participant on Thursday has him on track to do just that.
Trice has been dealing with a minor groin injury and has also maintained that he will be ready go play when the season kicks off.
Fautanu has a more complicated situation. The rookie is still recovering from an MCL strain suffered in the first preseason game, and is also still competing for playing time at tackle behind Broderick Jones and Dan Moore Jr. It seems likely that if Fautanu dresses, it will be as a backup, at least for Week 1.
Wide receiver Roman Wilson remains limited as he is attempting to come back from an ankle injury.
