Just One Steelers Player Questionable to Play vs. Texans
The Pittsburgh Steelers have a completely healthy 53-man roster and just one player has an injury designation for Monday night’s Wild Card playoff game against the Houston Texans .
Defensive tackle Isaiahh Loudermilk, who remains on the injured reserve list and had his 21-day practice window opened on Friday, was a limited participant in practice on both Friday and Saturday and has a questionable designation for Monday Night Football.
Loudermilk has been out since he suffered a high ankle sprain that required surgery in Week 2. Esezi Otomewo and Logan Lee have replaced him in the Steelers lineup.
Outside of the still-on-IR Loudermilk, the entire 53-man roster is healthy going into the postseason. Two players were limited in practice at points this week, but are both expected to play on Monday. Tight end Jonnu Smith was limited on Friday with a glute injury. Running back Jaylen Warren missed practice on Thursday with an illness. Both were full participants in Saturday’s final session at UPMC Rooney Sports Complex.
Two other players were less-than-full participants. Left guard Isaac Seumalo got the day off, as he usually does on Fridays, and defensive tackle Cam Heyward was limited for the third straight day, both for rest purposes.
