PITTSBURGH —Four injured members of the Pittsburgh Steelers did not practice on Wednesday, as the team began in earnest its preparations for a Week 16 visit to the Detroit Lions on Sunday.
Outside linebacker Nick Herbig , cornerback James Pierre , left guard Isaac Seumalo and outside linebacker T.J. Watt all did not participate in practice today.
Herbig is dealing with a hamstring injury that cropped up against the Miami Dolphins on Monday, and Watt has yet to return to the practice field after suffering a partially collapsed lung last week.
The combination of Watt and Herbig's absences had the Steelers inside linebackers very thin at practice, with just Alex Highsmith , DeMarvin Leal , Jack Sawyer and Julius Welschof practicing.
Seumalo was also injured in the win over the Dolphins, also missed his first practice back after the game. With the Steelers on a short week after their Monday Night Football win, it'll be tough for the recently injured Steelers to get back in action.
James Pierre, who is attempting to return from a Week 14 calf injury, missed his fourth straight practice.
