Pittsburgh Steelers news, rumors and injuriesSteelers | Le'Veon Bell in good condition Tue, 27 Sep 2016 18:00:47 -0700 Pittsburgh Steelers RB Le'Veon Bell's conditioning isn't a concern to head coach Mike Tomlin. "We have seen him every day, he has been a part of us, and he has been in the building," Tomlin said. "He is up to speed on what we are doing from a schematic standpoint and really in tune there." Fantasy Tip: Tomlin had also stated earlier that Bell will play plenty in his first game back from a three-game suspension. With good health and in good physical condition, Bell immediately assumes his position as an RB1, even against a tough Kansas City Chiefs defense. Comment () | Share: Steelers | Le'Veon Bell to be featured upon return Tue, 27 Sep 2016 10:05:10 -0700 Pittsburgh Steelers RB Le'Veon Bell can expect to see a heavy workload in his season debut in Week 4 versus the Kansas City Chiefs, according to head coach Mike Tomlin. "Rest assured, you're going to see Le'Veon Bell and a lot of him Sunday," Tomlin said. Fantasy Tip: This comes as music to the ears of Bell's owners, most of whom invested a late-first or early-second round pick in him despite his three-game suspension. A bit of rust should be expected, but few backs bring the same kind of upside and consistency to the table that Bell does. As such, owners should plug him immediately into their lineups and begin the process of handcuffing him to DeAngelo Williams if they haven't done so already. Comment () | Share: Steelers | Eli Rogers in a walking boot Tue, 27 Sep 2016 09:45:59 -0700 Pittsburgh Steelers WR Eli Rogers (toe) was spotted wearing a walking boot on his left foot Tuesday, Sept. 27. Rogers injured himself roughly midway through the team's Week 3 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Head coach Mike Tomlin is calling him "very questionable" for Week 4 against the Kansas City Chiefs. Fantasy Tip: Rogers has cooled since a stellar opener, although the timing of this injury certainly didn't help in that regard after a one-catch effort in Week 2. Assuming Rogers sits out the Sunday Night Football game this week, Markus Wheaton will replace Rogers in the slot, while Antonio Brown and Sammie Coates handle the majority of snaps outside. Comment () | Share: Steelers | Le'Veon Bell back in action Mon, 26 Sep 2016 07:19:18 -0700 Pittsburgh Steelers RB Le'Veon Bell will return from his three-game suspension in Week 4. Fantasy Tip: Bell will face a tough Kansas City Chiefs defense in his season debut. He'll be a low-end RB1, but rust to a certain degree should be expected. Comment () | Share: Steelers | Toe injury for Eli Rogers Sun, 25 Sep 2016 15:43:27 -0700 Pittsburgh Steelers WR Eli Rogers (toe) suffered a toe injury in the Week 3 game against the Philadelphia Eagles and he was unable to return. Fantasy Tip: Rogers posted two grabs for 32 yards on five targets before departing. He has emerged as a decent WR4 in most fantasy leagues of 12 or more teams, but he should be reserved until he can officially return and prove his health in a full game without any setbacks Comment () | Share: Steelers | Lawrence Timmons taken to hospital Sun, 25 Sep 2016 15:42:40 -0700 Pittsburgh Steelers LB Lawrence Timmons (shin) suffered a shin injury in the Week 3 game against the Philadelphia Eagles and he will not return. He was taken to the hospital for further evaluation. Comment () | Share: Steelers | Ryan Shazier nicked up Sun, 25 Sep 2016 15:41:38 -0700 Pittsburgh Steelers LB Ryan Shazier (knee) suffered a right knee injury in the Week 3 game against the Philadelphia Eagles. He was able to return later in the game. Comment () | Share: Steelers | Jarvis Jones able to return Sun, 25 Sep 2016 15:39:41 -0700 Pittsburgh Steelers LB Jarvis Jones (ankle) suffered a left ankle in the Week 3 game against the Philadelphia Eagles. However, he was able to return. Comment () | Share: Steelers | Two Pittsburgh players dinged up Sun, 25 Sep 2016 15:35:40 -0700 Pittsburgh Steelers OG Ramon Foster (chest) and S Robert Golden (hamstring) left the Week 3 game against the Philadelphia Eagles due to injuries and were unable to return. Comment () | Share: Steelers | Week 3 Inactives for Steelers Sun, 25 Sep 2016 12:29:54 -0700 The Pittsburgh Steelers have declared OG Chris Hubbard, C Cody Wallace, DE L.T. Walton, FB Roosevelt Nix, CB Senquez Golson, LB Steven Johnson, QB Zach Mettenberger inactive for Week 3. Comment () | Share: Steelers | Markus Wheaton will share snaps Sat, 24 Sep 2016 09:16:26 -0700 Pittsburgh Steelers WR Markus Wheaton (shoulder) is set to return from a sprained right shoulder in Week 3 versus the Philadelphia Eagles, but he will do so in a timeshare with Sammie Coates and Darrius Heyward-Bey. Fantasy Tip: It's impossible to know at this point whether the Steelers plan on making this a permanent arrangement or are only trying to bring him back slowly, but what is clear is that Wheaton is no more than a low-end flex for the time being. He is certainly still worth a bench spot and could move into the WR3 discussion as the year progresses. Comment () | Share: Steelers | Pittsburgh's Friday injury report Fri, 23 Sep 2016 15:57:10 -0700 Pittsburgh Steelers CB Senquez Golson (foot) and C Cody Wallace (knee) did not participate in practice Friday, Sept. 23, and have been ruled out for Week 3. FB Roosevelt Nix (back) was limited during practice and is listed as doubtful. OG Ramon Foster (elbow) was limited and is listed as questionable. QB Landry Jones (back) and DE Cameron Heyward (knee) fully participated in practice and are not on the injury report. Comment () | Share: Steelers | Markus Wheaton ready to play Fri, 23 Sep 2016 15:53:52 -0700 Pittsburgh Steelers WR Markus Wheaton (shoulder) fully participated in practice Friday, Sept. 23, and is not on the injury report for Week 3. Fantasy Tip: Wheaton missed the first two games of the season but should have a solid role in the passing game in Week 3. He could be a flex option in deeper leagues but could stay on the bench if owners have more favorable matchups. Comment () | Share: Steelers | Markus Wheaton a full participant Thu, 22 Sep 2016 19:44:59 -0700 Pittsburgh Steelers WR Markus Wheaton (shoulder) was a full participant in practice Thursday, Sept. 22. Fantasy Tip: Wheaton is expected to make his season debut in Week 3, and he immediately warrants consideration as a flex option. Comment () | Share: Steelers | DeAngelo Williams back at practice Thu, 22 Sep 2016 19:40:30 -0700 Pittsburgh Steelers RB DeAngelo Williams (non-injury) returned to practice Thursday, Sept. 22, after being given a day off Wednesday, Sept. 21. Fantasy Tip: Williams has 237 rushing yards and 10 catches through two games, and he should be considered a RB1 in Week 3 in what will likely be his final start before Le'Veon Bell returns.
