To start Week 17, the Cleveland Browns and Pittsburgh Steelers had 28 players listed on the participation/injury report. By Saturday night, the Steelers could have very little to play for, while the Browns are
squarely in 2026 NFL draft order watch, and have been for a while.
On Friday, Cleveland added two rookies, TE Harold Fannin Jr. and QB Dillon Gabriel, to their injury list
, with QB Bailey Zappe likely elevated to the active roster for Week 17.A list that started with 28 players ended the week with six players ruled out and eight questionable for this week’s AFC North matchup:
Browns Injury Report
- TE Harold Fannin Jr. – Questionable

Steelers Injury Report

Saturday’s practice squad elevations could be telling for both teams.
