Browns, Steelers injuries: TJ Watt, David Njoku updates as 6 ruled out for Week 17

To start Week 17, the Cleveland Browns and Pittsburgh Steelers had 28 players listed on the participation/injury report. By Saturday night, the Steelers could have very little to play for, while the Browns are squarely in 2026 NFL draft order watch, and have been for a while.

On Friday, Cleveland added two rookies, TE Harold Fannin Jr. and QB Dillon Gabriel, to their injury list, with QB Bailey Zappe likely elevated to the active roster for Week 17.

A list that started with 28 players ended the week with six players ruled out and eight questionable for this week’s AFC North matchup:
