PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Steelers entered gameday against the New England Patriots with four starters questionable for Thursday Night Football but they will be as close to full strength as possible. 

All four Steelers starters who were listed as questionable following the final practice of the week - running back Najee Harris, linebacker Elandon Roberts, offensive guard Isaac Seumalo and center Mason Cole - will all play when the Steelers meet the Patriots at Acrisure Stadium. 

Harris did not practice for two straight days with a knee injury despite playing the entire game against the Arizona Cardinals last weekend. 

Cole's neck injury also didn't pop up until after the conclusion of the Cardinals game. He practiced, but only in a limited capacity this week. 

Seumalo left the Cardinals game early with a shoulder injury and was replaced by Nate Herbig. He was listed as a limited participant on the first day of practice this week and was a non-participant the day before kickoff against New England. 

Roberts was limited with a groin injury during the Steeler's only two practices of the week but, as NFL Network's Cameron Wolfe reported earlier in the day, he would be good to go against the Patriots. 

The Steelers are still dealing with a handful of notable injuries, none more significant than the ankle injury keeping Kenny Pickett out of action this week, but they will be as close as they can be to full strength against New England.
