Defensive tackle Montravius Adams returned to practice in a limited capacity, marking the first time he’s been on the field since suffering an ankle injury three weeks ago. Tomlin also classified Adams as “fighting” to get back on the field, and his limited participation could mean he’s nearing a return.
Wide receiver George Pickens was a surprise addition to the injury report. After not being listed by Tomlin during his weekly press conference, Pickens sat out of practice due to a shin injury.
It’s unknown how severe the situation is or if he’ll be required to miss more time. As of now, it’s an injury to monitor.
Steelers rookie linebacker Nick Herbig and cornerback James Pierre were both limited in practice. Herbig is dealing with a hamstring injury, which will need to be monitored throughout the week. Pierre has a shoulder injury that will also be something to watch.
With both being limited, it could mean the injury occurred in practice or that they are working through issues that came up beforehand.
As usual, the Steelers gave guard Isaac Seumalo, defensive tackle Cam Heyward and cornerback Patrick Peterson a vets’ day off. Levi Wallace was also given a rest day.
