Will the Steelers be healthy this week?

The Steelers have some injuries this week. Roosevelt Nix, Vince Williams, Anthony Chickillo and Vance McDonald all sat out the Friday practice. Also, Jayron Elliott was limited with a hamstring injury. This is a lot of injuries as two of them are starters, and all are contributors on offense or defense.

Roosevelt Nix has a knee injury, and that has kept him out for a few weeks, and it looks like it will keep him out for another week. Vince Williams has a lingering hamstring injury. Anthony Chickillo has a foot injury, and he is needed on special teams. Vance McDonald has a shoulder injury, and the hope is that he will be healthy on Monday.

The good news is that this game is on Monday Night Football and so the Steelers have a practice day on Saturday. This will be a regular practice and not just a walkthrough. This is one more day to get healthy and prepare for the Bengals.
