PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Steelers got some good news on their injury report as tight end Pat Freiermuth became a full participant after being limited to start the week due to a chest injury. 

Freiermuth suffered the chest injury in-game against the 49ers and was expected to be ready to play by Week 2. It appears he's fully cleared as the team looks to close out the week. 

As for the rest of the injures, the Steelers are still dealing with five. Anthony McFarland (knee), Diontae Johnson (hamstring) and Larry Ogunjobi (foot) did not practice, while Chuks Okorafor (concussion) and James Daniels (ankle) were limited.

McFarland missed the last two days of practice because of his knee injury. It's unknown what the issue is or how serious it is right now. If he's unable to go, Pittsburgh will rely on Calvin Austin as a kick returner and possibly practice squad running back Qadree Ollison as their third-string runner. 

Ogunjobi has been dealing with a foot injury since the beginning of the preseason, but was active in Week 1. He was a limited participant in the team's first practice before being downgraded to a non-participant. 

Okorafor continues to work through concussion protocol with hopes of being cleared by the game. If not, the Steelers will rely on Broderick Jones to take over as the right tackle, with Dan Moore Jr. staying on the left side. 

Daniels has been limited throughout the week after being seen in a walking boot the day after the 49ers game.

Johnson is expected to miss up to four weeks, with no return to practice in sight after his hamstring injury. 

Seamulo had a veteran's day off.
