Steelers Now
PITTSBURGH — Two members of the Pittsburgh Steelers secondary popped up with injuries on Thursday that could impact their availability for the team’s Week 14 game against the Baltimore Ravens.
Cornerback Joey Porter Jr. was limited in practice with a new elbow injury on Thursday, while safety Kyle Dugger did not practice with a hand injury.
Those two injuries came in addition to James Pierre being in the concussion protocol, though Pierre appears to be trending toward playing, as he was a full participant in Thursday’s session.
Jalen Ramsey has also not practiced this week, being given rest days on both Wednesday and Thursday.
That’s left the team without a lot of depth in the secondary. Asante Samuel Jr. is the next man up at outside cornerback, while Chuck Clark and Jabrill Peppers would be in line to replace Dugger if he’s unable to play.
