Chase Claypool WR: questionable (hamstring)

Chase Claypool was probably the most significant offensive player to miss the game against Green Bay, and his absence definitely hampered the passing game.  However, Chase did return to a limited practice on Wednesday, a very good sign for Steelers fans. While he could still miss the Bronco’s game if he does not aggravate the hamstring between now and then, the chances are he should return this week.

Cam Sutton CB: questionable (groin)

Sutton was another casualty of a groin injury, causing him to leave the Packers game early. His was the most significant of the week. He did not practice Wednesday, so it’s difficult to say if he plays at this point, like Highsmith and Watt, who both had the same injury. So fans should not expect him to play Sunday, though it’s still possible he could return. However, if he stays out of practice for the remainder of the week its unlikely,

Kevin Dotson OL: questionable (Hip)

Another lingering injury, and again he missed practice on Wednesday, and not a particularly good sign for those hoping he would return for this week’s game. So do not expect him to miss at least another week, but it’s always possible the Steelers could still upgrade him by week’s end.
