PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Steelers are getting a captain and crucial piece of their defensive line back just in time for a tough matchup against running back Derrick Henry and the Tennessee Titans.

The team activated defensive tackle Cameron Heyward to the 53-man roster from the injured reserve list on Wednesday. He was not given an injury designation for Thursday night -- meaning he will be active and play against the Titans.

Heyward has been out since sustaining a groin injury early in the Week 1 loss to the San Francisco 49ers.
