Steelers to be without DeShon Elliott, George Pickens vs. Ravens

PITTSBURGH -- Steelers safety DeShon Elliott has been downgraded and will not play in Saturday's game against the Baltimore Ravens, leaving the team without its top run defender for a second week in a row.

Elliott (hamstring) didn't practice in the team's first two practices of the week and was initially listed as doubtful after limited participation Thursday. The Steelers will also be without wide receiver George Pickens, who is also dealing with a hamstring injury.

Though Elliott missed the Eagles game, the Steelers still managed to limit NFL leading rusher Saquon Barkley to 65 yards on 19 carries.
