Steelers vs. Ravens Injury Report

Game Time: Saturday, Dec. 21, 2024, 4:30 p.m. ET

Steelers Injuries

George Pickens (WR): Did Not Participate (Hamstring) – Out
Justin Fields (QB): Did Not Participate (Abdominal) – Out
DeShon Elliott (S): Limited Participation (Hamstring) – Doubtful
Donte Jackson (CB): Limited Participation (Back) – Questionable
Larry Ogunjobi (DT): Limited Participation (Groin) – Questionable
T.J. Watt (LB): Full Participation (Ankle) – No Designation
Cameron Heyward (DT): Full Participation (Rest) – No Designation

Key Absences

The Steelers will be without key offensive playmaker George Pickens, who’s sidelined with a hamstring injury. His absence puts more pressure on Russell Wilson and Najee Harris to sustain drives against a Ravens defense ranked 17th in the NFL. Additionally, the potential loss of DeShon Elliott weakens Pittsburgh’s secondary against Lamar Jackson’s dynamic offense.

Ravens Injuries

Jalyn Armour-Davis (CB): Did Not Participate (Hamstring) – Out
Nelson Agholor (WR): Did Not Participate (Concussion) – Questionable
Adisa Isaac (OLB): Full Participation (Hamstring) – No Designation
Rashod Bateman (WR): Limited Participation (Foot) – Questionable
Daniel Faalele (G): Limited Participation (Knee) – Questionable
Odafe Oweh (OLB): Limited Participation (Ankle) – Questionable
Sanoussi Kane (S): Full Participation (Hamstring) – No Designation

Key Absences

For the Ravens, the injury report is equally concerning. Jalyn Armour-Davis and Nelson Agholor’s statuses raise questions about Baltimore’s depth in the secondary and receiving corps. The uncertain availability of Rashod Bateman and Odafe Oweh could further limit their offensive and defensive flexibility.

What to watch out for in Steelers vs Ravens?

George Pickens Injury Update

George Pickens remains out after sustaining a hamstring injury during practice ahead of Week 14’s game against the Cleveland Browns. His absence is a significant blow to Pittsburgh’s passing game, which has relied on his explosiveness and ability to stretch the field.

T.J. Watt Injury Update

T.J. Watt, a crucial component of the Steelers’ defense, practiced fully on Thursday and carries no injury designation for the game. His presence will be pivotal in containing Lamar Jackson and disrupting Baltimore’s offensive rhythm.

DeShon Elliott Injury Update

DeShon Elliott’s hamstring injury leaves him doubtful for Saturday’s game. As the team’s second-leading tackler, Elliott’s absence could expose Pittsburgh to big plays in the secondary, especially against a mobile quarterback like Lamar Jackson.
