| Cory Trice Jr (CB) | Hamstring | Out |
| Cleveland Browns | Injury | Game Status |

Both teams are in pretty good shape on the injury front. Pittsburgh will be without starting OLB Alex Highsmith, who’s sidelined with an ankle injury. Backup forner Cory Trice Jr is also out with a hamstring issue.
A handful of veterans didn’t practice all week (Cameron Heyward, Isaac Seumalo, Larry Ogunjobi, Najee Harris, and TJ Watt) but none carry an injury designation as of Thursday morning.
On the Cleveland side, starting tackle Jedrick Wills is out with a knee injury, while seldom-used tight end Geoff Swaim remains out with a concussion.
Myles Garrett didn’t practice on Tuesday and was limited on Wednesday due to a hip injury, but Cleveland’s star edge rusher carries no injury designation heading into TNF.
