Pat Freiermuth, Diontae Johnson practice fully; Montravius Adams remains out for Steelers
Share this post:
All week, members of the Pittsburgh Steelers offense have spoken with excited anticipation about having their unit at full strength for Sunday’s AFC North showdown against the Cleveland Browns. On Thursday, that was the case at practice.
Wide receiver Diontae Johnson and Pat Freiermuth remain the only offensive players listed on the league-mandated injury report, but each practiced fully Thursday.
Johnson suffered a thumb injury during this past Sunday’s win against the Green Bay Packers and sat out practice Wednesday. Freiermuth has not played since suffering a hamstring injury Oct. 1, but he was cleared to practice off of the injured reserve list earlier this week.
Each is expected to play Sunday.
Starting defensive tackle Montravius Adams, though, is not expected to suit up against the Browns. Adams, who missed the Packers game because of an ankle ailment, did not practice Thursday.
Veteran defensive lineman Cameron Heyward was listed as limited at practice because of a groin injury that had him on IR for much of the first half of the season, but he is expected to play Sunday.
Safeties Minkah Fitzpatrick (hamstring) and Keanu Neal (rib) did not practice and are not expected to play against Cleveland.
