DeShon Elliott injury update

It's a mystery when DeShon Elliott hurt his back, as Tomlin did not mention Elliott after a Jets victory in which he played 60 snaps or during his Giants preview press conference.

The Steelers inked the former Raven, Lion, Dolphin during free agency and he's been a defensive asset ever since, logging an interception, three defended passes, forced fumble, fumble recovery and 51 tackles in seven starts.

The good news is Elliott practiced in a limited capacity after not participating on Thursday, and there's an extra day this week with the Monday Night Football matchup.

Roman Wilson injury update

Rookie Roman Wilson, selected in the third round of the NFL draft, is in Mike Tomlin's dog house. Hampered by an ankle injury for the majority of training camp, Wilson's appeared in just one game this season and injured his hamstring in practice leading up to the New York Jets matchup.

Tomlin sounded less than pleased about his first-year receiver in his presser this week, saying, "Roman needs to work for me to really consider him. His participation got compromised some last week and so really once it got compromised, I moved on."

Nick Herbig injury update

The Steelers' second-year outside linebacker sustained a hamstring injury in the loss to the Dallas Cowboys back in Week 5 and hasn't played since. Herbig is not trending toward playing in Week 8, either, which is probably for the better. Pittsburgh's Week 9 bye will provide banged-up players an opportunity to get right before their brutal second leg of the 2024 season.

Donte Jackson injury update

Another stupendous signing by the Steelers this offseason has been Donte Jackson. Jackson, who leads the team in interceptions (3), exited early from the Jets game with a shoulder injury.

Jackson's second straight full practice is music to the Steelers' secondary ears.
