Three Steelers Set to Return from Injury vs. Commanders
Pittsburgh Steelers Injury Updates: Quarterback Justin Fields, center Zach Frazier and running back Cordarrelle Patterson are expected to return from injury this week.
PITTSBURGH — Three members of the Pittsburgh Steelers are set to return from injury this Sunday against the Washington Commanders. Quarterback Justin Fields, running back Cordarrelle Patterson and center Zach Frazier are all set to return to the lineup.
Fields was the emergency backup quarterback for last Monday’s Week 8 game against the New York Giants after he suffered a hamstring injury in walkthrough the day before. He was a full participant in practice all this week, even serving as the scout team quarterback, representing Washington starter Jayden Daniels for the Steelers defense. Kyle Allen had dressed as the backup quarterback against the Giants in Fields’ place.
Frazier has been out since suffering an ankle injury in the Steelers’ 32-13 win over the Las Vegas Raiders on Oct. 13. He was a full participant in practice all week and is set to return. Ryan McCollum had started two games in his place.
Patterson has been out since suffering a serious ankle injury against the Indianapolis Colts on Sept. 29. Patterson, who is also the team’s primary kickoff returner, was a full participant in practice all week. Jonathan Ward replaced him as the team’s third running back and kickoff returner while Patterson was out.
