Steelers Head to Miami With Three Injuries

The Pittsburgh Steelers will be without at least one player in Week 7.

PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Steelers will head to Miami to face the Dolphins in Week 7 with three players on their injury report. 

After starting the week with 11 players missing practice time due to injuries, the Steelers ended their practice sessions on a very positive note injury wise. Quarterback Kenny Pickett, tight end Pat Freiermuth and cornerback Levi Wallace all cleared concussion protocol and will play. Corner Cam Sutton (hamstring) and safety Minkah Fitzpatrick (knee) will also return after missing last week. 

The Steelers will be without wide receiver Steven Sims, who is dealing with a hamstring injury. Gunner Olszewski will operate kick and punt return duties for Pittsburgh in Miami. 

Cornerback Ahkello Witherspoon returned to the field for the first time since suffering a hamstring injury in Week 3 against the Cleveland Browns. He was a full participant in practice by the end of the week but is listed as doubtful for the game. 

Corner James Pierre also suffered two injuries during the week and is questionable with hip and knee injuries. Josh Jackson will play an extended role for a second consecutive week if Pierre and Witherspoon don't play.
