Tuzar Skipper apparently suffered an elbow injury in this week's game and is being placed on the practice squad IR.

Norton didn't look too bad last night. Although he certainly didn't dominate anyone, he didn't give up any sacks or even get beat more than a time or two. Pass blocking seems better than run blocking at this point.

Johnson had 8 catches, but only 59 yards as the Steelers looked bad in a loss to Cinci.

Diontae was one of the few bright spots. the tv crew really focused on him and gave him props for stepping up after a bad game to make tough catch after tough catch. yeah, as a team the steelers looked bad outside the 3rd quarter but at least our rocket had a good game. also saw ola in for a few snaps and special teams but no big plays. elliot was in on special teams too.

Tons of MACtion boys playing in that game, was especially fun to watch because of that. WMU had two impact starters and another at reserve Lb. Miami’s Big Ben uncharacteristically played like crap. Steelers are one-dimensional, therefore expect them to be a one-and-done come playoff time.

Gilliam and Adeniyi have both been declared out of this week's games with injuries.

Hunt and Johnson each with a TD. ESPN had this to say about Johnson’s score: “On the verge of being blown in their final regular-season home game of the season, the Steelers badly needed the touchdown“. I can see why they might have been distracted. Maybe after the game if they win.

As an aside, 84 year old Frank Gore, playing in his 10,034th NFL game, reached 16,000 career rushing yards. Keith Richards was the first to tweet a congratulatory message.

Logan Woodside entered tonight’s game in the final 2 minutes down 26 to the Packers...he attempted two passes, both were pretty awful throws. Right after his 3rd down incompletion, in comes Brett Kern to boom a 60-yard punt. Rockets make Sundays that much more enjoyable. Always love the Toledo shoutouts from the commentators.

That's sad. He has to make the best of his opportunities.

Brett Kern on the COVID list.

He had been, if you recall his 4th down conversion on the fake punt and his 20-yard run. Monday’s game was a really tough situation to come into.

Expect to see a lot of Ola Adeniyi and Jayrone Elliott for the Steelers/Browns game Sunday.

Gilliam inactive again today. Also, Texans have elevated Greg Mancz this week.

Elliott (#45) gets a sack on Mayfield.
