The Pittsburgh Steelers fell to 6-6 after an embarrassing loss to the Buffalo Bills on Sunday. The loss dropped them out of first place in the AFC North, and as the playoff picture sits today, they are currently on the outside looking in. This week, they will take on the Baltimore Ravens in a matchup for first place in the AFC North.
During his weekly Tuesday afternoon press conference, Tomlin provided more injury updates via the team’s YouTube channel, leading into the critical divisional clash.
Defensive tackle Derrick Harmon is out vs. the Ravens as he continues to deal with a knee injury. He missed Week 13 against Buffalo, and the Bills ran for 249 yards. Not having him against the Ravens and Derrick Henry could prove to be crucial.
Additionally, James Pierre is in concussion protocol and is listed as questionable, as of today. Patrick Queen is also listed as questionable, per Tomlin, with a glute injury. He’s yet to miss a contest this season.
Aaron Rodgers left the game in the third quarter after a sack and fumble led to a Bills scoop-and-score. He missed one full series, was spotted in the medical tent, and shortly returned to the field with a bloodied nose bridge. It appears he will be available for the Steelers on Sunday.
The Steelers’ season could potentially be on the line in Baltimore. If they lose, tiebreakers will have them two games back in the AFC North. The black and gold are currently a 5.5-point underdog according to FanDuel Sportsbook.
