Once again, the Pittsburgh Steelers will be without cornerback Joey Porter Jr, who has been ruled out of Thursday’s matchup with the Cleveland Browns.
Porter was classified as a full participant on Monday and Tuesday, but limited on Wednesday as the team put his back injury back on the injury report.
On top of Porter being out, so, too, is running back Rico Dowdle, who will miss his second consecutive game with a toe injury he sustained in Week 2 against the New England Patriots. This means Jaylen
Warren will get the vast majority of carries, once again.
Defensive backs Jalen Ramsey and Brandin Echols were both listed as questionable. Ramsey is dealing with a broken wrist, while Echols was in concussion protocol. Both were classified as being limited in practice all week.
The Steelers will look to end their Thursday struggles against the Browns, as they are 0-4 against Cleveland on Thursday nights.
