Steelers Uncertain of Two Starters Against Colts
PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Steelers will wait on the final word for two of their injured starters as they head into the week and prepare for the Indianapolis Colts in Week 15.
The Steelers' final injury report came with plenty of positives as inside linebacker Elandon Roberts (groin), running back Najee Harris (knee), wide receiver Diontae Johnson (knee), defensive tackle Keeanu Benton (oblique) and outside linebacker T.J. Watt (concussion) are all available after missing practice time this week.
However, outside linebacker Alex Highsmith (concussion) and guard Isaac Seumalo (shoulder) are both listed as questionable.
Highsmith was limited in practice for the first two days of the week but finished as a full participant on Thursday. He'll need to be cleared by an independent neurologist before the game in order to clear protocol and play.
If he's unable to go, Markus Golden and rookie Nick Herbig will step in alongside Watt.
Seumalo was out of practice all week while dealing with a shoulder injury. He suffered in Week 13. He was limited in practice last week but was still able to play, but it's less certain he'll be able to return to the field this week against the Colts.
If he does not go, Nate Herbig will start at left guard.
