Sports blog information from USA TODAY.
Here are the players with injury designations for the Week 15 matchup.
The Indianapolis Colts (7-6) and Pittsburgh Steelers (7-6) released their final injury reports with designations Thursday ahead of the Week 15 matchup at Lucas Oil Stadium.
The Colts ruled out two starters on offense while a defensive depth player was listed as questionable on the final injury report. Meanwhile, the Steelers ruled out their starting quarterback and listed a starting guard as questionable.
Here is a look at the players with injury designations entering the Week 15 matchup:
We expect all the questionable players to be game-time decisions this week.
The Pittsburgh Steelers offense is going to have its work cut out for it on Thursday when they take on the New England Patriots. New England has one of the better defenses in the NFL and the Steelers could be shorthanded on offense at multiple spots.
We already knew the Steelers would be without starting quarterback Kenny Pickett. But according to the team’s final injury report ahead of Thursday’s game, the team could be minus more offensive players against New England.
Starting left guard Isaac Seumalo and starting center Mason Cole are both listed as questionable. Suemalo went out in last week’s loss to the Arizona Cardinals on the same play Pickett was injured on and was unable to return. It isn’t clear if he will be able to push through that shoulder injury.
Cole’s injury is something of a mystery. He was listed as limited all week with a neck injury but he spoke to the media this week and seemed fine.
If Cole and Seumalo cannot go, Nick Herbig would start at center and this would mean rookie guard Spencer Anderson could get his first NFL start.

During his press conference to start the 2023 training camp, head coach Nick Sirianni confirmed that Cam Jurgens will get 1st team reps at right guard
Isaac Seumalo’s departure in free agency left a massive hole in the middle of the NFL’s top offensive line, but GM Howie Roseman has several notable replacements in place.
Nick Sirianni talked during the offseason about the looming right guard competition.
On Wednesday, he confirmed that second-year center Cam Jurgens would get the first shot over Tyler Steen.
Cam Jurgens is going to get the first crack at right guard, Nick Sirianni said.

Jurgens was drafted to eventually be the successor to Jason Kelce at the center position, but he’ll spend this season competing for the right guard spot.
A 23-year-old second-year center who’s played 44 career snaps, Jurgens didn’t play much as a rookie, but he’s shown dominant traits when inserted into the lineup.

The 2023 NFL draft is fast approaching, and with the Top 30 visits underway, all 32 teams are doing their due diligence on potential prospects.
Thanks to some draft night wizardry from Howie Roseman, the Eagles traded the No. 16 overall pick, No. 19 overall pick, and a 2022 sixth-round pick to the New Orleans Saints for the No. 18 overall pick, a 2022 third-round pick, a 2022 seventh-round pick, a 2023 first-round pick, and a 2024 second-round pick.

The numbers are in, and former Eagles right guard Isaac Seumalo signed a 3-year, $24 million deal with the Steelers
Isaac Seumalo will exit Philadelphia, but he’ll stay in the state of Pennsylvania after agreeing to a three-year, $24 million deal with the Steelers.
Seumalo’s $8 million per season puts him in the top 10 for highest-paid right or left guards and gives Pittsburgh a versatile player capable of playing all five positions.

Seumalo is the second former Eagle signing with the Steelers in free agency, joining Nate Herbig, who spent three years with the Eagles before a one-year stint with the New York Jets.
Seumalo missed significant time with injuries during the 2020 and 2021 seasons but returned to play all 17 regular-season games for the Eagles in 2022.

The 2016 third-round pick out of Oregon State improved each season and started all 17 games for the Eagles as they went 14-3 during the 2022 regular season en route to a Super Bowl appearance.
With Seumalo departing and Jason Kelce announcing that he will return in 2023, look for 2022 second-round pick Cam Jurgens as the new starter at right guard.
