UPDATE ON STEELERS INJURIES Daniels Practices, Heyward Running for the Steelers.
James Daniels of the Pittsburgh Steelers returned to practice on Tuesday after missing two weeks due to a groin ailment. Daniels suffered an injury in the team’s Week 3 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders, but he was able to finish the game.
He then missed the team’s next two games as well as the next two weeks of practice, with Nate Herbig filling in at right guard. Daniels was able to return in some form at the Steelers’ only practice this week, as seen in this video. During their bye week workouts, the Steelers are not obligated to release injury reports with full or limited classifications.
Other players on the practice field included defensive lineman Cam Heyward and wide receiver Diontae Johnson, who were both running under the supervision of head coach Mike Tomlin and the training staff. Johnson, who has a left hamstring ailment, says he will return when the Steelers return to action against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 7.
Heyward’s injury is expected to keep him out for an extended period of time. He was expected to be out for eight weeks following his Week 1 injury and subsequent core muscle surgery, but he believes he will be back sooner.
