The Steelers finished up their main portion of practice for the week on Friday morning and they received some good news. Bud Dupree who has been limited this week, and missed last week's game against the Cleveland Browns was able to go through a full practice.
#Steelers LB Bud Dupree says he was full practice participant today. Thinks he's good for Sunday

All signs point to Dupree playing unless he has some sort of setback. Tomlin has a long standing policy that you must practice if you're going to play, and Dupree was able to go through a full one today. Last week he missed Thursday and Friday practice.
#Steelers Status Report:

QUESTIONABLE: J.J. Wilcox, Vance McDonald, Stephon Tuitt
OUT: Jerald Hawkins
JJ Wilcox is still in the concussion protocol and while he isn't listed as out his status is very much in doubt. That leaves the Steelers thin at the safety position again. Robert Golden will be the backup at both positions. Good news is that Sean Davis was a full participant after being limited yesterday.
Stephon Tuitt was confined to riding a stationary bike, but said he has made progress with his bicep injury. Without practicing at all it's very unlikely that he will play on Sunday.
