The Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens released their final injury reports of the week on Friday ahead of their Saturday matchup at M&T Bank Stadium in Week 16 and six players have been ruled out and five are questionable between Pittsburgh and Baltimore.

The two biggest names we were keeping an eye on for the Steelers this week were wide receiver George Pickens and outside linebacker T.J. Watt. Pickens has been ruled out after not practicing all week, while Watt carries no designation after practicing in full on Friday.

According to Ray Fittipaldo of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Pickens, who was able to do some individual work this week, might miss the Week 17 game against the Kansas City Chiefs, also.

"I didn't get the idea that it got all that close," Fittipaldo said of Pickens' chances of playing this week. "He did more this week, obviously, than last week. I wouldn't rule out Wednesday against the Chiefs, but I think probably still looking at that Bengals game regular season finale as the likely return for George."

Three other Steelers starters are in danger of sitting out for the Ravens game, including safety DeShon Elliott, who is doubtful, and defensive lineman Larry Ogunjobi and cornerback Donte Jackson, who are questionable. Ogunjobi appears to have a better chance to suit up, as he was able to log a full practice this week.

For the Ravens, they are in danger of being very short at wide receiver. We already know that Diontae Johnson isn't playing (and is likely done in Baltimore), but both Nelson Agholor and Rashod Bateman are questionable.

Bateman popped up on the injury report on Wednesday with a foot issue and was seen in a walking boot. He closed out the week without participating in practice and is listed as questionable. Agholor didn't practice at all this week and is questionable, as well.

Two other Ravens starters to keep an eye on are edge rusher Odafe Oweh and guard Daniel Faalele, both of whom are questionable. Oweh was added to the injury report on Wednesday, while Faalele was limited all week.

Now, the full list of injury designations for both teams ahead of Saturday.
