Steelers' latest injury report suggests help is on the way at a position that has been a revolving door
USA TODAY Sports

The Pittsburgh Steelers are dealing with a multitude of injuries following Sunday's resounding win over the Los Angeles Chargers. 

With one key defender already out, and another headed to the injured reserve, the Steelers signed a former first-round pick on Wednesday as they prepare for the Indianapolis Colts. 

Here's what we learned from Wednesday's report:

Steelers Week 4 Injury Report (Wednesday)

Via A To Z Sports

Steelers Takeaways:

  • LB Alex Highsmith: Highsmith was ruled out on Tuesday by Coach Tomlin, so a DNP was no surprise on Wednesday. 
  • RB Najee Harris : Harris was seen in an elbow brace while walking around the facility on Monday, though Coach Tomlin didn't mention him in Monday's report and NFL insider Jordan Schultz reported that Harris is fine. On Wednesday, Harris was missing for the early portion of practice and was listed as a non participant with a rest designation
  • RB Jaylen Warren : Warren was expected to be limited to start the week with a lower-body injury, which was confirmed on Wednesday when Warren was seen watching the other RBs go through drills, earning a DNP with his knee
  • QB Russell Wilson : Wilson was set to begin the week in a limited capacity again though Mike Tomlin didn't rule out his availability going forward. On Wednesday, Wilson was seen moving in limited capacities compared to the other Steelers QBs hence his designation 
  • OL Isaac Seumalo : Seumalo was expected to be a limited participant in practice this week for the first time since injuring his pectoral. On Wednesday, the starting guard was seen partaking in drills with pads on during the warmup session and was officially listed as a limited participant, a sign that the questions at LG could soon becoming to an end
  • S DeShon Elliott: Elliott was a limited participant on Wednesday with a quadriceps, but the starting strong safety should be good to go come Sunday
  • TE MyCole Pruitt : Pruitt was deemed out by Coach Tomlin on Tuesday, with nothing changing on Wednesday as he was ruled a DNP
