After a week off, the Pittsburgh Steelers returned to practice on Thursday and did so with a whole host of players back after being injured. The only player who did not practice on Thursday was wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster who missed because he was sick. And linebacker T.J. Watt, who is dealing with an abdominal injury was limited.
But here’s the list of guys who were full participants after being previously injured.
LB Mark Barron
RB Jaylen Samuels
WR James Washington
QB Mason Rudolph
CB Steven Nelson
CB Joe Haden
CB Mike Hilton
TE Vance McDonald
FB Roosevelt Nix
It would be remarkable if all nine of these guys played on Monday night. And to be frank, it might not be wise. There are plenty of names on this list like Samuels and Barron who have more-than-adequate backups. Against the winless Dolphins, assuring guys come out of the game healthy has to be the top priority.
