The Pittsburgh Steelers had almost everyone on the field during their Week 16 practices.

It’s a good sign for the Steelers as they have almost everyone on the field for their practice. Besides Antonio Brown, who’s out until the postseason, this team looks fully loaded headed into the final two games of the regular season.

Both Vance McDonald and Joe Haden saw action on the field after missing multiple weeks with injuries. Now, they’re hoping to secure two weeks of live action before they enter the postseason with likely a first-round bye.

For right now, this team only has to focus on the return of Antonio Brown. With likely four weeks before he makes it back to the field, AB should have plenty of time to recover from his partially torn calf muscle.

This is huge for the Steelers as they are hoping to bounce back from their Week 15 loss to the New England Patriots. As they try to reclaim the top of the AFC or at least secure a first-round bye, Pittsburgh will be looking to use all of their returning players in these final two weeks.

Next: How the offense will work without AB

Houston will be looking for a few answers as they look to finish off the season strong. Although their playoff hopes have all but vanished since the loss of DeShawn Watson, this team is still looking to spoil other’s playoff plans before the end of the regular season.
