When the Pittsburgh Steelers take on the Cleveland Browns on Sunday, there’s a good chance they will go it without outside linebacker Melvin Ingram. The team put out the game status report and Ingram is listed as doubtful with a groin injury.
Ingram has seen his snaps diminish every week since having a strong opening weekend game against the Buffalo Bills. Rumors are swirling that Ingram’s representatives have reached out to the team requesting a trade. Could Ingram’s status have anything to do with this? Time will tell. It is unclear how the Steelers will replace Ingram in the lineup if he cannot play. Derrek Tuszka is the only other outside linebacker on the roster and a relative unknown. Pittsburgh does have former first-round pick Taco Charlton on the practice squad and could promote him this week.
The only other injury of note for the Steelers is tight end Eric Ebron. He popped up on the injury report in the middle of the week with a hamstring injury and is listed as out for this week’s game. All other Steelers who were limted through the week are a full go versus the Browns.
