Pittsburgh Steelers vs Cleveland Browns kick-off time

The Pittsburgh Steelers host the Cleveland Browns at Acrisure Stadium (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania) in a critical all-AFC North clash, during Week 8 of the NFL regular season. The game is scheduled to kick-off on Sunday, November 1 at 1pm ET / 10am PT (6pm GMT).

Both sides head into Week 8 with 5-2 records. Cleveland may have taken confidence from their 27-24 home success over Pittsburgh in Week 4, but they’ve not won a regular-season road game against the Steelers since 2003. However, the Browns did claim a victory in Pittsburgh during the 2020 Wild Card playoffs.

Watt (OLB) & Cameron Heyward (DT): Both defensive cornerstones returned to full practice after sitting out Wednesday for scheduled rest.Alex Highsmith (LB): Remained limited in practice with a groin injury. His status heading into the weekend remains critical to Pittsburgh’s edge rush depth.Ben Skowronek (WR): Handled limited practice duties due to a calf issue. While his depth is needed, his progression is a positive sign after missing the last two games.Brandin Echols (CB) & Doneiko Slaughter (DB): Both failed to practice for a second consecutive day due to hamstring injuries and are highly questionable for Sunday.Cleveland Browns Team News

The Browns’ injury report featured a series of upgrades on Thursday, though some critical pieces on both lines remain in limbo.

Jared Verse (DE): Upgraded to limited participation after missing Wednesday’s practice with a knee issue. Coach Todd Monken and the medical staff fully expect him to suit up.Elgton Jenkins (C): Took a major step forward, upgrading from a DNP to a limited practice session as he nurses a knee injury.Tytus Howard (OT): Remained sidelined in concussion protocol. His potential absence leaves a vulnerable spot on the right side of the offensive line that Pittsburgh’s front will look to exploit.Dylan Sampson (RB): Logged a full practice on Thursday after being limited on Wednesday with a knee injury, completely clearing him for a massive role on Sunday.Defensive Line Depth: Interior linemen Mike Hall Jr. (ankle) and Mason Graham (ankle) both remained limited. While they are tracking toward playing, their limitations put immense pressure on the Browns’ run defense against Pittsburgh’s dynamic backfield.PIT crest
