The Pittsburgh Steelers and Cleveland Browns released their latest injury reports on Tuesday as the two teams prepare for their Week 4 Thursday Night Football showdown. The Steelers face a short week of practice, and Tuesday's updates offered a clearer view of who might take the field at Acrisure Stadium.
For Pittsburgh, cornerbacks Jalen Ramsey and Brandin Echols remained limited participants in practice. Ramsey, nursing a wrist injury, was limited both Monday and Tuesday, while Echols, recovering from a concussion, followed the same pattern. Running back Rico Dowdle did not participate in practice due to a toe issue for the second consecutive day. Meanwhile, cornerback Joey Porter Jr. was listed as a full participant after recovering from a non-injury related conditioning issue.
The Browns reported several notable players with limited participation or absence from practice. Cornerback Tyson Campbell and safety Grant Delpit both practiced on a limited basis, dealing with knee and shoulder concerns, respectively. Offensive tackle Tytus Howard also practiced in a limited capacity after a knee issue. Wide receiver Tylan Wallace and center Elgton Jenkins did not participate in practice on either day; Wallace is sidelined with a knee injury, and Jenkins is recovering from a concussion. Guard Teven Jenkins missed Monday’s session but returned to limited participation on Tuesday while managing a back issue.
The injury status of these players will be vital given the rivalry between the Steelers and Browns, where defensive matchups and offensive line stability often influence the outcome. Pittsburgh’s cornerbacks, with Ramsey and Echols limited, may see adjustments in coverage schemes. Dowdle’s absence could affect the Steelers’ running back rotation, potentially placing more load on the starters.
Cleveland’s offensive line has had to cope with injuries, and the missing or limited practice time for Jenkins and Howard could impact protection for quarterback Deshaun Watson. The Browns’ receiving corps also faces uncertainty with Wallace out, which might shift targets toward other options.
Both teams have shown a willingness to push injured players through limited practice sessions ahead of key games, but final availability will depend on how players respond in the remaining days before kickoff. The Steelers and Browns will meet Thursday night with these injury questions still in play.
