The Pittsburgh Steelers traveled back home from Saturday’s loss without an AFC North title but with plenty of concern about the status of their injured players on such a short turnaround. They’ll play their Week 17 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs on Wednesday this week — somewhere right around 3 days, 18 hours and 30 minutes after concluding their previous matchup.
Given the abridged schedule this week, HC Mike Tomlin held his weekly press conference on Sunday afternoon, providing several key injury updates coming out of Week 16.
The good news? Several of the players who missed Week 16 due to injury have a shot to suit up in Week 17, HC Mike Tomlin shared, including QB Justin Fields, S DeShon Elliott, CB Donte Jackson, WR George Pickens and DT Larry Ogunjobi.
