T.J. Watt returned to Pittsburgh Steelers practice Wednesday, but George Pickens and three other significant contributors were given a “did not practice” designation on the league-mandated status report.
Watt joined Larry Ogunjobi as veteran starters on defense who were listed as “limited,” three days prior to an AFC North showdown with the Baltimore Ravens. Watt suffered an ankle injury late in this past Sunday’s loss at the Philadelphia Eagles, and Ogunjobi did not play in that game because of a groin injury.
Two others who sat out the game in Philadelphia because of respective hamstring injuries — receiver George Pickens and safety DeShon Elliott — were said to have not practiced Wednesday. Pickens has missed the past two contests.
Three days after suffering injuries against the Eagles, starting cornerback Donte Jackson (back) and change-of-pace quarterback Justin Fields (abdominal) did not practice, according to the status report.
The Steelers will practice once more before their status report for Saturday’s 4:25 p.m. game is released. A win gives the Steelers the AFC North title. A loss pulls Baltimore into a tie with them for first place with two games to go.
