Tomorrow is the Pittsburgh Steelers first practice to prepare for the Buffalo Bills, and it looks like everyone is healthy and ready to participate. Mike Tomlin stated today that he expects everyone on the roster to practice tomorrow. That should give the Steelers a full compliment of up to 55 players to chose from for Sunday’s game if they call up two practice squad players to the active game day roster.

Minkah Fitzpatrick had a leg injury and was held out of the final preseason game. Marcus Allen was also banged up with a hamstring injury just before the final roster cut down. It’s good to hear that Coach Tomlin expects them both to be ready to go tomorrow.






T.J. Watt hasn’t been injured, but he has not participated in team drills all off-season. Tomlin expects Watt to be ready to go for practice tomorrow, which is a bit of relief for Steeler Nation, who is still waiting for their superstar outside linebacker to agree on a long-term contract with the team.

Three players that won’t be available were placed on Injured Reserve after the rosters were cut down to 53. Zach Banner, Anthony McFarland, and Stephon Tuitt. We are not sure when any of these players will return, but we do know they must miss three games before they can be recalled to the roster.
