The Steelers are home favorites in the MNF odds. The public is siding with the over tonight.

MIA Dolphins vs PIT Steelers Injury Reports

The Dolphins have a fairly clean injury report as many of their key players were full participants in practice after missing time earlier in the week. Notably, this includes potential Pro Bowlers in Aaron Brewer and De’Von Achane.

For the three players who have an injury designation, both Elijah Campbell and Larry Borom are reserve players. Andrew Meyer is currently on injured reserve. Campbell has played 10 games this season for Miami, playing 74% of special teams snaps in those games.

Borom had started 10 games in a row, but he has only played eight offensive snaps since Miami’s bye. Meyer has yet to make his NFL debut after going on injured reserve in August.

Pittsburgh’s injury report is much more consequential. The surprising name on the list is Jaylen Warren who popped up on Monday’s report with an illness. While he is only questionable, the Steelers need a fully healthy Warren. Warren has 929 scrimmage yards and six touchdowns this season, providing a two-way threat out of the backfield.

Being without T.J. Watt is a huge blow to Pittsburgh. While he is not quite at his peak, he still has 7.0 sacks, three forced fumbles, and an interception. Anecdotally speaking, this is the exact game that Watt would make a game-changing play in the final minutes to push the Steelers closer to a playoff berth.

Rookie Derrick Harmon has not played since Nov. 23 with a knee injury. He has been a solid run stuffer on the interior, clogging up lanes with his 310-pound frame. He has also added 2.0 sacks on the season. If he returns, he could singlehandedly shut down the interior run game.

Coming off his best game of the season (including an interception of his cousin, Lamar Jackson), James Pierre is out with a calf injury. The six-year veteran has 11 pass deflections on the season with an interception and a scoop-and-score.

Andrus Peat is also out for the Steelers. The long-time Saint has played 90 offensive snaps for Pittsburgh across three games. Pittsburgh will likely turn to Dylan Cook in Peat’s absence.
