The Pittsburgh Steelers released their first injury report of the week on Tuesday ahead of their Week 16 game against the Baltimore Ravens on Saturday and a total of seven players didn't take part and one was limited on the estimated injury report.
The injury report was estimated because the Steelers did not have a full practice, but rather a walkthrough. The seven players who didn't practice were quarterback Justin Fields, linebacker Patrick Queen, wide receiver George Pickens, outside linebacker T.J. Watt, safety DeShon Elliott, cornerback Donte Jackson and defensive lineman Cameron Heyward.
Heyward and Queen were just resting, but the rest of the players were listed with injuries. We did get some video of Pickens doing some ladder work, and he looked good. Hopefully he can make enough progress this week to play.

One player was limited in defensive lineman Larry Ogunjobi, which amounts to an upgrade in participation for him after he didn't practice at all last week. Again, that's just an estimation, but it does put him on track to return this week.
On Monday, Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said the door was "ajar" for all the aforementioned players to suit up against the Ravens. He also stated he was "optimistic" that Watt would play.
Now, a look at the full injury report for the Steelers and Ravens on Tuesday. Baltimore's was an estimation, also.
