By G.Stryker:
Stephon Tuitt suffered an elbow injury in the game against Carolina. He had an MRI on Tuesday and did not practice all week. He and Marcus Gilbert have been ruled out of this week’s game
James Conner went through concussion protocol with flying colors. The extra time off had to help his situation. He is not listed on the injury report and will start on Sunday.
Dan McCullers practiced all week and is not listed on the injury report
I track and try to predict timelines for Steeler players returning to the field. This is a link to our current spreadsheet. It will update on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday after the practice reports are issued, as well as Post-Game and Tuesday after Coach Tomlin's press conferences. Bookmark it to see how the health of the Steelers are shaping up each week.
I believe the inactive players will be:
- Mason Rudolph: Healthy Scratch/ 3rd QB
- Marcus Gilbert: Officially ruled out, so he will not play
- Stephon Tuitt: Officially ruled out, so he will not play
- Justin Hunter: James Washington played over 40 snaps without a target. He needs to get open to stay active
- Marcus Allen: All the safeties are healthy, so he should sit.
- Zach Banner: Banner is the inactive choice on the line.
- Brian Allen: All of the cornerbacks are healthy, so Brian probably won’t play again this week
After getting 7/7 correct last game, my predictions are 56/63 on the year.
