The Pittsburgh Steelers are gearing up for their Week seventeen matchup against the Cleveland Browns, but five key players injury statuses remain uncertain.

Coach Mike Tomlin provided no definitive updates during his press conference, leaving fans and players alike in suspense. If these players cant suit up, Roman Wilson and Scotty Miller could fill in for Austin, while Jalen Ramsey, Chuck Clark, and Asante Samuel Jr. may see increased action in the secondary. Watts lung injury and Seumalos triceps problem remain unclear, with several other players dealing with undisclosed or hamstring issues. Expect limited practices and daily checks this week to determine the teams availability for the crucial game.
