The Pittsburgh Steelers had a "light" practice on Wednesday in preparation for their Sunday showdown against the current AFC-leading, Kansas City Chiefs.
No practice for Steelers rookie tight end, Pat Freiermuth as he's back in concussion protocol, as well as defensive lineman, Chris Wormley who sat today with a groin injury. Both of these setbacks happened in Week 15.

Steelers veteran cornerback, Joe Haden got the day off, while quarterback Ben Roethlisberger was a full participant. Tight end, Kevin Rader was a full participant as well after sitting out last week.
The most exciting news of the day, offensive guard, Kevin Dotson was back at practice and the team will now have 21 days to activate him back to the active roster -- or he would have to miss the remainder of the season.
