Pittsburgh Steelers Injury Report: Four players return, three others sit out with injuries
PITTSBURGH — The Pittsburgh Steelers got plenty of good injury news on Thursday as multiple players returned to practice after missing Wednesday’s session.
Running back Najee Harris, who missed Wednesday with an ankle injury, was a full participant in practice on Thursday. Cornerback Cory Trice was a full participant in his first practice back from injury.
Meanwhile, running back Jaylen Warren (back) and cornerback C.J. Henderson (neck) were the two players who did not practice on Thursday that fully practiced on Wednesday. Tight end MyCole Pruitt (knee / rest) did not practice for the second straight day, but the veteran needs less practice time than others due to his veteran status.
Wide receiver Van Jefferson (quad) and cornerback Donte Jackson (hamstring) were limited after missing practice on Wednesday. Both players seem likely to play this Sunday but are being limited.
Meanwhile, outside linebacker Nick Herbig feels like a full-go after practicing fully for the second straight day. He and Preston Smith will make up the edge rusher rotation as Alex Highsmith (ankle) has already been ruled out.

Fayette County man facing 1,000+ charges related to animal cruelty, neglect
A man from Fayette County has been arrested and is facing over 1,000 charges related to alleged animal cruelty and neglect.
Fayette County District Attorney Mike Aubele said that John Saxberg, 57, is facing charges in connection with what he called “a suspected illegal kennel operation” in Washington Township.
According to DA Aubele, Saxberg is accused of subjecting numerous animals to “deplorable conditions” and “circumstances constituting torture,” adding that approximately ten animals suffered serious bodily injuries.
Court records show that Saxberg is facing 1,029 criminal charges in total with offenses including aggravated cruelty to animals, cruelty to animals, neglect of animals, penalties related to dog licensing, and violations of vaccine requirements.
52 of the charges that Saxberg is facing are felonies, according to court records.
Online court paperwork shows that Saxberg was arraigned on Tuesday afternoon and is being held in the Fayette County Prison after bail was posted at $85,000.
A preliminary hearing for Saxberg is scheduled for late next week.
