The Pittsburgh Steelers head to Philadelphia for a Week 15 showdown against the Eagles on December 15, 2024. This clash between two historic franchises is more than just a game—it’s a fight for Keystone State bragging rights. The Steelers, led by Russell Wilson and a powerful defense anchored by T.J. Watt and Cam Heyward, aim to make a statement in their playoff push.

George Pickens injury update
Steelers’ leading receiver George Pickens suffered a hamstring injury in practice last Thursday. He was limited on Friday and did not play in Pittsburgh’s Week 14 win versus the Cleveland Browns. Mike Tomlin labeled him doubtful for Sunday at Philly, so Pickens’ chances of practicing this week are slim.
Larry Ogunjobi injury update
Larry Ogunjobi (groin) is expected to be slow in practice early in the week, but Tomlin said on Tuesday he’s hopeful that the veteran tackle will play. Ogunjobi played nine defensive snaps and recorded two total tackles in the Steelers’ Week 14 win over the Browns before exiting with the injury.
Roman Wilson injury update
The Steelers still have yet to designate rookie wide receiver Roman Wilson (hamstring) from injured reserve. Wilson was placed on injured reserve in October, where he remains after expectations were that he’d be sidelined for four games. Four games would’ve made Wilson eligible to return in Week 13; however, he’s seemingly dropped off the radar.
