When the Pittsburgh Steelers take on the Cleveland Browns on Thursday night, they will have two fewer pass rushers to worry about. Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski spoke to the media on Monday and declared defensive ends Chase Winovich and Jadeveon Clowney will both miss Thursday’s game.

We never wish injury on any player but with the way the Steelers offensive line has played, they will take any break they can get. The Steelers will still have to contend with defensive end Myles Garrett but this should take some of the pressure (pun intended) off of a struggling unit.

On the other side of the ball, the only injury of consquence the Steelers have is to linebacker Devin Bush. But according to head coach Mike Tomlin, Bush is scheduled to return to practice on Tuesday.

Last week, the Pittsburgh Steelers were home underdogs to the New England Patriots and lost 17-14. This week the Steelers go on the road on a short week to take on the Cleveland Browns and once again find themselves underdogs.

According to Tipico Sportsbook, the Browns are favored by 3.5 points over the Steelers for their showdown on Thursday Night Football. Both teams are coming off of narrow losses last week with the Browns falling to the New York Jets 31-30 and the Steelers getting tripped up by New England 17-14.

It is hard to think about the Steelers being anything but an underdog with how poorly the Steelers offense has played. The Browns defense gave up some points last week but their offense looks be have a little punch to it despite not having DeShaun Watson at quarterback. Meanwhile new Steelers quarterback Mitch Trubisky and offensive coordinator Matt Canada aren’t at all on the same page.
