Speaking to reporters Friday, hours after being signed and going through his only full practice with the team before Sunday’s game against the Detroit Lions, Adomitis […]

The Steelers have been scrounging for depth at outside linebacker and seemed like an obvious fit. T.J. Watt will miss his second straight game after suffering a partially collapsed lung last week, while his replacement, Nick Herbig, is doubtful after injuring his hamstring against the Dolphins on Monday night....

Los Angeles Rams right guard Kevin Dotson suffered an ankle injury in Thursday night’s loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Dotson was carted off and didn’t return. He was seen on crutches and in a walking boot, which is not promising
The injury occurred in the first quarter after Seahawks linebacker Derrick Hall unnecessarily stepped on Dotson. The NFL has suspended Hall one game for “an act of unnecessary roughness and unsportsmanlike conduct.”
Hall, who was not called for an unnecessary roughness penalty during the game, is appealing his one-game suspension.
Here is the play that resulted in a one-game...

PITTSBURGH — Pittsburgh Steelers outside linebacker Nick Herbig said he’s “optimistic” about his chances of playing in the team’s Week 16 game against the Detroit Lions on Sunday, despite not practicing much this week.
Herbig did not practice on either Wednesday or Thursday. He was at practice doing at least some work on Friday.
Herbig said he’s “optimistic, but we’ll see” when asked about his status this week. He could be trending toward a final decision coming either after the team’s walkthrough on Saturday or a game-time decision at Ford Field on Sunday.
With starting left outside linebacker T.J. Watt...

If there’s one spot where the Pittsburgh Steelers could really stand to get healthier, it’s along the defensive line. The Steelers will likely get Derrick Harmon back this week, but it will be missing T.J. Watt again and maybe Nick Herbig as well. The Steelers may have to roll with Jack Sawyer Sunday and a […]

Behind the Steel Curtain
PITTSBURGH — Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin did not have a substantial update on the status of star outside linebacker T.J. Watt on Friday, saying he prefers to let Watt speak for himself.
Watt was at the team’s facility for practice on Friday, the second straight day he was at UPMC Rooney Sports Complex. But it seems unlikely that Watt will be able to play this Sunday when the Steelers visit the Detroit Lions.
Watt suffered a partially collapsed lung last Wednesday after undergoing a dry needling procedure at the team’s facility on an off day, his brother, CBS...
