The Awuzie injury figures to hit them hard as the season progresses. However, they will get a much needed boost this week. DJ Reader will make his return against the Steelers, and should have a big impact against the run, as he always has. Brandon Wilson was also cleared to practice. We won’t be seeing him in game action yet, but with Chris Evans banged up, they could have him back in soon to return kicks. Ja’Marr Chase will miss another one, though there is hope he can come back next week or the one after. Dax Hill and Josh Tupou are also out.

The Steelers also get a boost on defence. TJ Watt returned last week after an extended absence. He should continue to have a big impact. As well, Minkah Fitzpatrick is expected to play, this coming after the initial expectation was that he would miss some time. Witherspoon is the only player ruled out for the Steelers.
