Steelers HC Mike Tomlin hopes for healthy team this week

Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin got back together this week as they began preparations for their Monday Night Football showdown with the Miami Dolphins. One of the biggest issues going into the by week was the sheer volume of players who were dealing with injuries.

But when Tomlin addressed the media, he offered some level of optimism that many of the injured players would return to practice in some capacity this week.

Among the injured Steelers who could get back in action this week are linebacker Mark Barron, cornerback Joe Haden, linebacker T.J. Watt, running back Jaylen Samuels and cornerback Mike Hilton.

Pittsburgh might be taking on the winless Dolphins this week but they can only absorb so many injuries against any team. The Steelers will have quarterback Mason Rudolph back after missing one game with a concussion.

Which of the injured Steelers do you want back the most this week? And with an 0-6 Dolphins team on the schedule do you take a more conservative approach to the roster?
