Steelers DT Montravius Adams OUT with injury

The Steelers won’t have the services of Montravius Adams for the rest of the game.

According to Pittsburgh Steelers ESPN writer Brooke Pryor, backup nose tackle Montravius Adams is out for the remainder of the game with a knee injury he suffered in the first half against the New York Jets.

With Adams out, the Steelers defensive line rotation gets very thin. Adams was the only interior defensive lineman who typically rotates in with starter Keeanu Benton. This could push Cameron Heyward inside more along with Larry Ogunjobi to be sure the Steelers have the bodies to slow down the Jets run game.

Steelers injury update: C Zach Frazier has timeline for return

The Steelers hope to have Frazier back after the Steelers bye week in Week Nine.

There have been few rookies in the NFL this season who have played as well as Pittsburgh Steelers center Zach Frazier. Frazier took over the starting job after Nate Herbig was injured and looked like a 10-year veteran and not a rookie second-round pick.

Unfortunately, last week against the Las Vegas Raiders, Frazier suffered an ankle sprain that forced him out of the game. Ryan McCollum came in for Fraizer and played well. This is great news since it sounds like Frazier is going to miss the next two games and not be back until after the Steelers Week Nine bye week.

The Steelers offensive line has been decimated with injuries so far this season. The team has already lost James Daniels and Troy Fautanu for extended stretches and were without guard Isaac Seumalo for several weeks. And as we noted, it was an injury that got Frazier into the starting lineup.

Steelers vs Raiders injury updates: Game status report for both teams

The Steelers are missing several key players this weekend.

The Pittsburgh Steelers and Las Vegas Raiders square off on Sunday and both teams will be doing it without several of their best players. Here is the game-status report for each of the teams.

Steelers

S Damontae Kazee (OUT)

EDGE Nick Herbig (OUT)

EDGE Alex Highsmith (OUT)

DE Demarvin Leal (OUT)

RB/WR Cordarrelle Patterson (OUT)

TE MyCole Pruitt (OUT)

RB Jaylen Warren (Questionable)

Raiders

WR Davante Adams (OUT)

TE Michael Mayer (OUT)

LB Tommy Eichenberg (Questionable)

WR Jakobi Meyers (Questionable)

OT Tab Munford (Questionable)

G Jackson Powers-Johnson (Questionable)

RB Zamir White (Questionable)

S Trey Taylor (Questionable)

With Highsmith, Herbig and Leal out, the Steelers are terribly thin at edge rusher. Based on the depth chart, it will be second-year player Jeremiah Moon getting the start opposite T.J. Watt.

For the offense, a return of running back Jaylen Warren would be huge. With Cordarrelle Patterson out, Najee Harris can’t really be the guy to carry the rushing attack. If Warren on a snap count is better than Just Harris and the occasional Justin Fields run.

Steelers best offensive lineman lost for the season

Starting right guard James Daniels is done for the season after suffering an Achilles tear in the Steelers’ loss to the Indianapolis Colts.

The Pittsburgh Steelers‘ offensive line is falling apart at the seams. Injuries to starters aren’t helping matters, and today’s news is the worst yet.

Starting right guard James Daniels is done for the season after suffering an Achilles tear in the Steelers’ Week 4 loss to the Indianapolis Colts.

Since joining the Steelers as a Chicago Bears free agent in 2022, Daniels started 36 games and was consistently their highest-graded offensive lineman. Daniels was in a contract year, set to hit free agency in 2025.

Pittsburgh is already depleted up front with fellow guard Isaac Seumalo (pectoral) and rookie tackle Troy Fautanu (knee) out with injury.

Seumalo is working his way back to the field after he returned to practice last week in a limited capacity. Fautanu had surgery to repair ligament damage on a dislocated kneecap and could return should the Steelers make the playoffs.

Steelers EDGE Nick Herbig out with ankle injury

The Steelers are woefully thin at outside linebacker.

The Pittsburgh Steelers came into Sunday’s game against the Indianapolis Colts dangerously thin at outside linebacker. Alex Highsmith was out with Nick Herbig in his spot in the starting lineup. Now Herbig is out for the remainder of the game with an ankle injury.

Herbig came in for Highsmith last week and had a huge performance against the Los Angeles Chargers. Now with Herbig out, the Steelers will have to count on defensive end DeMarvin Leal to fill the void opposite T.J. Watt.

Steelers injury updates: Jaylen Warren pulled by Tomlin

Several Steelers suffered injuries in Sunday’s win over the Chargers.

After the Pittsburgh Steelers 20-10 win over the Los Angeles Chargers, head coach Mike Tomlin talked about the myriad of injuries Pittsburgh suffered over the course of the game.

The Steelers lost outside linebacker Alex Highsmith with a groin injury but his replacement Nick Herbig came in and got two sacks. Cornerback Cory Trice Jr. was lost with a hamstring injury and the unit rallied along with the Steelers pass rush to take the heat off the secondary.

Tomlin also noted that wide receiver Van Jefferson got poked in the eye but his vision cleared and he was able to return to the game. Jefferson had no targets or catches on Sunday.

In addition, Tomlin noted that running back Jaylen Warren got benched by Tomlin because of an ongoing injury issue. Warren was replaced by veteran Cordarrelle Patterson who played well down the stretch.

Next week the Steelers take on the Indianapolis Colts on the road.

Steelers CB Cory Trice Jr. DOUBTFUL to return with injury

The Steelers are without their primary backup cornerback against the Chargers.

It didn’t take long for the Pittsburgh Steelers to get awfully short-handed. The Steelers have lost starting wide receiver Van Jefferson to an apparent eye injury and now cornerback Cory Trice Jr. is doubtful to return with a hamstring injury according to ESPN reporter Brooke Pryor.

Here’s a look at the Pittsburgh Steelers injury report following Thursday’s practice.

Here’s a look at the Pittsburgh Steelers injury report, including Russell Wilson, following Wednesday’s practice.
