When the Pittsburgh Steelers take on the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday night, they will do it without wide receiver Gunner Olszewski. Olszewski remains in the concussion protocol.
Olszewski was in the lineup filling in for wide receiver Diontae Johnson who went on IR with a hamstring injury. Now look for the Steelers to utilize wide receiver Calvin Austin III as well as the tight ends this week against the Raiders defense.
Another spot where Austin might have an impact is as the team’s kick returner. Olszewski slid into the primary kickoff return specialist when running Anthony McFarland Jr. was injured but now Austin might end up returning all the kickoffs and punts.
All other Steelers who missed all or part of practices this week were a full go. This includes safety Minkah Fitzpatrick and defensive tackle Larry Ogunjobi.
For the Raiders, the only player on their game status report is rookie defensive end Tyree Wilson who is listed as questionable.
