Steelers Injury Updates: Larry Ogunjobi Still Limited

PITTSBURGH — The Steelers released their first injury report of the entire season, and it has some names on it that could be concerning. Larry Ogunjobi and Cam Heyward both were limited.

Ogunjobi (foot) suffered the injury in training camp. He missed the team’s preseason games as a result. However, Mike Tomlin maintained the injury was minor. On Monday, Ogunjobi noted he could not control the injuries and when they occurred but felt better and ready to go.

Meanwhile, Heyward suffered an injury shortly before the final preseason game. However, Tomlin downplayed his injury as only a day-to-day occurrence. On Wednesday, the injury report said that Heyward was a little bit limited, but it was just a rest day for a veteran.

With Ogunjobi banged up, expect guys like DeMarvin Leal, Keeanu Benton, Montraivus Adams, Armon Watts, and Isaiahh Loudermilk to play enough to limit some of those snaps in the rotation. Tomlin did not believe that there were any injury concerns on Tuesday.

“You know, not really as I sit here today,” Tomlin said. “We had a couple of guys that were limited yesterday, but that’s more of a prudent approach on our part. We were in that phase of player development in the week and we still have Wednesday waiting on us, so we feel pretty good about player availability.”

Other injuries, such as James Daniels and Nate Herbig, are fully healed.
