Steelers vs Giants injury report: Latest updates, news for Week 8

All the latest updates, including QB Justin Fields, on the Pittsburgh Steelers’s injury report ahead of Monday Night Football vs. Giants.

The Pittsburgh Steelers (5-2) host the New York Giants (2-5) tonight under the lights of Monday Night Football for their final matchup before the bye week.

While the Steelers are 4-1 against the Giants since 2004, New York leads the head-to-head series 44-31-3 in regular season contests.

In their last go-round, also on Monday Night Football, the Steelers defeated the Giants 26-16 at MetLife Stadium in 2020.

Here’s a look at the latest full injury and practice participation report, which now includes Russell Wilson’s backup, Justin Fields, who was not listed on Pittsburgh’s initial Saturday injury report.

Justin Fields injury update

Steelers backup quarterback Justin Fields (hamstring) is questionable heading into Steelers-Giants warmups. Once inactive are reported 1.5 hours pregame, we’ll know whether Fields will suit up as QB2 or ride the pine.

It’s unclear exactly when Fields’ injury occurred.

Roman Wilson injury update

Roman Wilson, who had already been ruled out for the Steelers-Giants matchup, was placed on injured reserve today. Wilson will miss at least the next four weeks. At the earliest, he would be eligible to return for the Week 12 showdown versus Jameis Winston’s Cleveland Browns.

Hampered by an ankle injury for most of training camp, Wilson has appeared in just one game this season and injured his hamstring in practice leading up to the New York Jets matchup. The rookie’s lone outing was Week 6 vs. the Raiders, in which he was not targeted once on five snaps.

Cordarrelle Patterson injury update

Cordarelle Patterson (ankle), listed as doubtful on the Steelers’ initial Saturday injury report, has been downgraded to out, per ESPN’s Brooke Pryor. Patterson has been sidelined since Week 4.

Nick Herbig injury update

The Steelers’ second-year outside linebacker sustained a hamstring injury in the loss to the Dallas Cowboys back in Week 5 and hasn’t played since.

Herbig is out for tonight’s Monday Night Football matchup. Pittsburgh’s Week 9 bye will provide banged-up players an opportunity to get right before their brutal second leg of the 2024 season.

Donte Jackson injury update

Donte Jackson had three full practices this week, and should all go well during warmups, it is a go tonight. He exited early from the Jets game with a shoulder injury. As a whole, the Steelers’ secondary should be at full strength versus the Giants.

Jackson, who leads the team in interceptions with three, was a stellar signing by the Steelers this offseason

DesShon Elliott injury update

It’s a mystery when DeShon Elliott hurt his back, as Tomlin did not mention Elliott after a Jets victory in which he played 60 snaps or during his Giants preview press conference.

The Steelers inked the former Raven, Lion, Dolphin during free agency and he’s been a defensive asset ever since, logging an interception, three defended passes, forced fumble, fumble recovery and 51 tackles in seven starts.

The good news is Elliott improved from not practicing on Thursday to being limited on Friday and practicing in full capacity today. It appears he’ll be good to go for the Monday Night Football contest.

Steelers injury update: QB pops up on Saturday injury report

Justin Fields is now questionable for Monday’s game with a hamstring injury.

On the Fox pregame show, NFL reporter Jay Glazer says he spoke to Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin and he’s got an injured quarterback on his hands.

According to Glazer, Justin Fields tweaked his hamstring and is now questionable for Monday night’s game against the New York Giants. If Fields cannot go, Kyle Allen will serve as the team’s No. 2 quarterback behind Russell Wilson.

 

According to Glazer, the Steelers have some packages in place for Fields but it seems highly unlikely he will see the field even if he is active on Monday night.

Will Cordarrelle Patterson play this week? Injury updates for Steelers RB

Steelers RB Cordarrelle Patterson continues to deal with an ankle injury. Here are the latest updates.

This week the Pittsburgh Steelers will have two of their three-headed running back unit. Najee Harris continues to play well and Jaylen Warren is working himself back into the mix but the Steelers aren’t going to have Cordarrelle Patterson this week against the New York Giants.

Cordarrelle Patterson

Patterson suffered an ankle injury in Week Four against the Indianapolis Colts. Patterson was called into a heavier workload when Warren was injured and he added some significant explosion and energy to the rushing attack.

How long will Patterson be out?

Patterson has missed the last three games and will miss one more heading into the bye week. We are hopeful with an extra week off, Patterson will be back on the field when the Steelers take on the Washington Commanders in Week 10.

Running back depth chart

With Patterson out, here’s what the running back depth chart looks like.

Najee Harris

Jaylen Warren

Aaron Shampklin

Big picture, the absence of Patterson won’t have a huge outcome on the game assuming Harris and Warren stay healthy. Nevertheless, for a team that sometimes needs an injection of energy and intensity, Patterson will be missed.

NFL experts setting up a trap game for the Steelers this week

NFL experts are giving the Giants no shot against the Steelers this week.

The Pittsburgh Steelers and New York Giants face off Monday night and are coming into the game from completely different directions. The Steelers are sitting at 5-2 and coming off a blowout win over the New York Jets. Meanwhile the Giants sit at 2-5 and got blown out last week by the Philadelphia Eagles.

This is why NFL experts don’t give New York any shot against the Steelers this week. And it’s why this is the perfect example of a trap game the Steelers could lose.

According to NFL Pick Watch, an overwhelming 97 percent of experts are picking the Steelers this week. In their fan picks, it is even worse, with 99 percent of picks going toward the Steelers. NFL Pick Watch aggregates expert picks from all over the internet and puts them all in one place.

As confident as we are about this week, this feels like a game where Pittsburgh might be reading their own press and come in flat. If they do, the Giants have the talent to win this game. This is especially true considering the Steelers head into the bye week next week and might look past what they consider an inferior opponent.

The Pittsburgh Steelers (5-2) host the New York Giants (2-5) under the lights of Monday Night Football for their final matchup before the bye week.

While the Steelers are 4-1 against the Giants since 2004, New York leads the head-to-head series 44-31-3 in regular season contests.

The Steelers inked the former Raven, Lion, Dolphin during free agency and he’s been a defensive asset ever since, logging an interception, three defended passes, forced fumble, fumble recovery and 51 tackles in seven starts.

The good news is Elliott improved from not practicing on Thursday to being limited on Friday and practicing in full capacity today. It appears he’ll be good to go for the Monday Night Football contest.

Roman Wilson injury update

Rookie Roman Wilson, selected in the third round of the NFL draft, is in Mike Tomlin’s dog house. Hampered by an ankle injury for the majority of training camp, Wilson’s appeared in just one game this season and injured his hamstring in practice leading up to the New York Jets matchup.

Tomlin sounded less than pleased about his first-year receiver in his presser this week, saying, “Roman needs to work for me to really consider him. His participation got compromised some last week and so really once it got compromised, I moved on.”

Wilson is out for the Steelers-Giants matchup. He’s played only five snaps with no targets this season.

Nick Herbig injury update

The Steelers’ second-year outside linebacker sustained a hamstring injury in the loss to the Dallas Cowboys back in Week 5 and hasn’t played since.

Herbig is out for the Monday night matchup. Pittsburgh’s Week 9 bye will provide banged-up players an opportunity to get right before their brutal second leg of the 2024 season.

Donte Jackson injury update

Another stupendous signing by the Steelers this offseason has been Donte Jackson. Jackson, who leads the team in interceptions (3), exited early from the Jets game with a shoulder injury.

Jackson’s third full practice is music to the Steelers’ secondary ears, as the unit will be at full strength versus the Giants.

Injury updates: Giants could be without top defender vs Steelers

The Giants could be without edge rusher Brian Burns against the Steelers.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are preparing to take on the New York Giants on Monday night. For the Steelers, top priority for the offensive line is to do their best to minimize the damage done by defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence.

This problem is only made more difficult by the presence of edge defender Brian Burns. But when the Giants’ Friday injury report came out, Burns went from being a limited participant on Thursday to DNP a day later. Burns is currently dealing with groin and Achilles injuries.

With Burns out of the lineup, the job of starting left tackle Dan Moore Jr. gets much easier, Moore, along with starting right tackle Broderick Jones have had their ups and downs this season. But this week, all eyes will be on center Ryan McCollum and rookie guard Mason McCormick as they try to contend with Lawrence in the middle.

The Steelers inked the former Raven, Lion, Dolphin during free agency and he’s been a defensive asset ever since, logging an interception, three defended passes, forced fumble, fumble recovery and 51 tackles in seven starts.

The good news is Elliott practiced in a limited capacity after not participating on Thursday, and there’s an extra day this week with the Monday Night Football matchup.

Roman Wilson injury update

Rookie Roman Wilson, selected in the third round of the NFL draft, is in Mike Tomlin’s dog house. Hampered by an ankle injury for the majority of training camp, Wilson’s appeared in just one game this season and injured his hamstring in practice leading up to the New York Jets matchup.

Nick Herbig injury update

The Steelers’ second-year outside linebacker sustained a hamstring injury in the loss to the Dallas Cowboys back in Week 5 and hasn’t played since. Herbig is not trending toward playing in Week 8, either, which is probably for the better. Pittsburgh’s Week 9 bye will provide banged-up players an opportunity to get right before their brutal second leg of the 2024 season.

Donte Jackson injury update

Another stupendous signing by the Steelers this offseason has been Donte Jackson. Jackson, who leads the team in interceptions (3), exited early from the Jets game with a shoulder injury.

Jackson’s second straight full practice is music to the Steelers’ secondary ears.

Steelers HC Mike Tomlin creating confusion about starting quarterback position

Could Mike Tomlin really bench Russell Wilson against the Giants?

We aren’t sure if Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin was being serious or not but he is really trying to confuse everyone about the starting quarterback position. Last week Tomlin benched Justin Fields in favor of Russell Wilson before the team blew out the New York Jets on Sunday night.

Now the Steelers are preparing to square off with the New York Giants on Monday Night Football and Tomlin said in his Tuesday presser that he hasn’t committed to a starting quarterback for this week.

“He’s scheduled to take first-team reps tomorrow, and we’ll see where that leads us,” Tomlin said.

Seriously? Could there even be an argument about who the starting quarterback is? This feels like Tomlin trying really hard to make the Giants prepare for Fields to be the starting quarterback even though there’s no chance it actually happens.

Last week we expected to see Fields against the Jets in some packages but it didn’t happen. It sounds like he is hoping to create the same type of doubt this week.

Pittsburgh Steelers vs. New York Giants Live Stream, NFL Football, Odds, TV Channel, Start time

The Pittsburgh Steelers will open up the 2020 season on Monday Night Football when they take on the New York Giants from MetLife Stadium.

The Pittsburgh Steelers will open up the 2020 season on Monday Night Football when they take on the New York Giants from MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

The Steelers will get ‘Big Ben’ Roethlisberger back after a season-ending injury in 2019 and he’ll be ready to get back to the business of making the playoffs. They have missed the playoffs the last two years after having to start two different QB’s last year.

The New York Giants have added a few pieces to the puzzle this offseason including head coach, Joe Judge while picking up former Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett to lead the Giants offense. With high expectations for Garrett and their offense, we should see some signs of hope with Daniel Jones and Saquon Barkley this season.

Will the Giants be able to keep up with Big Ben and Juju tonight in the first game of Monday Night Football? Tune in and find out, here is everything you need to know to catch the NFL action tonight.

Pittsburgh Steelers vs. New York Giants

  • When: Monday, September 13
  • Time: 7:00 p.m. ET
  • TV Channel: ESPN, ESPN Deportes
  • Live Stream: fuboTV (watch for free)

Prediction: The line has been moving early on this morning dropping from the Steelers (-6) to Steelers (-5.5). It will be interesting to see what Jason Garrett can do with this Giants offense but I think getting Big Ben back will be a big boost for the Steelers offense. Take the Steelers -5.5 and the under 44.5
