Steelers Now
PITTSBURGH — Center Zach Frazier was an unexpected addition to the Pittsburgh Steelers injury report on Wednesday ahead of the team’s Week 8 game against the Green Bay Packers.
Frazier was listed as a limited participant in practice on Wednesday with a calf injury. He was spotted at practice with a sleeve over his left calf. It’s unclear when Frazier suffered the injury. He did not miss any playing time in last Thursday’s loss to the Cincinnati Bengals.
Head coach Mike Tomlin said on Tuesday that there may be players with limited availability early in the week that were still expected to play, but it’s not clear if he included Frazier in that number.
“We had some bumps and bruises associated with play,” Tomlin said. “But after a long weekend of rehabilitation I doubt any of those are significant in terms of limiting someone’s availability. It may limit the availability at the top of the week. We have some veteran players and things of that nature that we’ll minimize a little bit (on Wednesday).”
Ryan McCollum is the team’s backup center and would play in Frazier is unable to.
