Multiple Steelers come away from Jets loss with injuries

The Steelers lost multiple starters on Sunday.

Sunday’s loss to the New York Jets was ugly in multiple levels for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Not only did the Steelers play terribly, but there was also a long list of injuries to come from the game.

After the game, head coach Mike Tomlin noted all the ones we saw during the game. Quarterback Mason Rudolph hurt his shoulder, James Conner suffered a thigh injury and center Maurkice Pouncey hurt his knee. But according to ESPN reporter Jeremy Fowler, linebacker Bud Dupree also suffered a back injury and will have an MRI. Dupree was able to return after he hurt his back but it might be worse than first feared.

The big one here is Rudolph. Not that he inspires confidence but Rudolph played well before his injury against the Jets. If he cannot go this weekend, Pittsburgh will go into a must-win game with Devlin Hodges as the starter and Paxton Lynch as his backup. Lynch hasn’t played a meaningful game of football in two years.

Ravens vs. Bills: Who’s playing and who isn’t in Week 14

The Baltimore Ravens have no players already ruled out but with four listed as “questionable,” there could be some concern in Week 14.

The Baltimore Ravens and Buffalo Bills will enter Week 14 against each other fairly healthy. Both the Ravens and Bills have very few names on their final injury reports and even fewer with their game status in question.

For Baltimore, they have just four players listed as “questionable.” While seeing Marlon Humphrey and Marquise Brown among them is concerning, there’s some upside for both. Humphrey had been limited in the first two practices but returned to full participation today. Brown wasn’t even on the injury report on Wednesday and was also a full participant on Friday. If Friday’s final injury report is any indication, all four players should be able to suit up this week.

Baltimore Ravens game status:

WR Marquise Brown (ankle) – Questionable
CB Marlon Humphrey (thigh) – Questionable
LB Patrick Onwuasor (ankle) – Questionable
WR Seth Roberts (knee) – Questionable

Buffalo Bills game status:

T Ty Nsekhe (ankle) – Out

Nsekhe is Buffalo’s backup left tackle, so being ruled out already isn’t exactly a killer. But Nsekhe has played a decent number of snaps every week he’s been healthy, seeing no fewer than 27% of the offensive snaps in a game this season.

That could end up affecting how the Bills run the football, something they’ll need to do effectively to keep up with the Ravens. But with Baltimore being able to sack quarterbacks 15 times over the last five games, quarterback Josh Allen won’t like missing a key blocker in front of him either.
