Three Pittsburgh Steelers players listed as questionable on the injury report have been cleared to play Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens.
Linebackers T.J. Watt and Malik Reed and wide receiver Diontae Johnson no longer have injury designations and are ready to take the field.
Watt, the 2021 Defensive Player of the Year, has been dealing with a rib injury that's limited his playing time and production over the past several weeks. He was limited in practice this past week, including being listed as out on Thursday.
Watt, 28, has also been troubled by a pectoral injury since Week 1.
"It's tough," Watt said on Friday. "It's stuff out of my control. It's been one thing after another this year, but I don't want to miss any more games. I'm going to try my best to make it happen each and every week."
Johnson, 26, has a hip issue that's bothered him all season but to date has not kept him out of a game. He said he suffered a new hip injury in last Sunday's 19-16 win over the Atlanta Falcons.
Johnson logged a limited practice session on Wednesday then was also listed as "out" for Thursday's practice.
Reed, 26, has played in all 12 games this season but had been nursing a back injury.
