Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin expressed optimism on Tuesday about several key players returning for the team's must-win game against the Baltimore Ravens. The injuries have hampered the Steelers following their recent loss to the Cleveland Browns. Among those potentially returning are edge defender T.J. Watt and others.
The Pittsburgh Steelers are preparing for a critical season finale against the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday Night Football, with head coach Mike Tomlin providing a positive update on the team's injury situation. Speaking to the media on Tuesday, Tomlin highlighted his optimism regarding the return of multiple players sidelined by injuries, which contributed to the team's struggles in their previous loss to the Cleveland Browns.
Tomlin specifically mentioned cornerbacks Brandin Echols and James Pierre, guard Isaac Seumalo, wide receiver Calvin Austin III, and edge defender T.J. Watt as potential returnees. Watt, a vital defensive player, has been absent for the last three games after suffering a punctured lung during a dry needling session at the team's facilities.
With everything on the line in this matchup, Tomlin emphasized an all-hands-on-deck approach if the players are deemed healthy. The Steelers' position in the standings makes this game essential, as a victory is necessary to keep their playoff hopes alive.
