Steelers Avoid Major Injury Scare
The Pittsburgh Steelers have released their final injury report before they take off for Denver and take on the Broncos in Week 2.
After appearing on Thursday’s report for the first time all season with a groin injury that forced him to miss practice, starting inside linebacker Patrick Queen did not receive a designation for Sunday’s contest and should be good to go as he was a full participant on Friday.
Queen signed a three-year deal worth $41 million with Pittsburgh in free agency after spending the first four years of his career with the Baltimore Ravens.
In the Steelers’ Week 1 win over the Atlanta Falcons, he played 56 snaps and made two tackles. Queen has never missed a regular season game.
Quarterback Russell Wilson was a limited participant once again and was listed as questionable on the report.
Head coach Mike Tomlin has told reporters throughout the week that he expects Justin Fields to start against Denver after Wilson has not progressed in his recovery from a calf injury that held him out of Week 1.
Rookie wide receiver Roman Wilson was also listed as questionable with an ankle injury. He was downgraded from a full participant on Thursday to a limited participant on Friday. He initially suffered his injury at the beginning of training camp and did not appear in any of Pittsburgh’s three preseason contests.
Left guard Isaac Seumalo, who was characterized as being “week-to-week” to start the regular season, was ruled out. He suffered a pectoral injury during practice on Aug. 28.
Cornerback Darius Rush (concussion), tackle Dan Moore Jr. (ankle), defensive lineman Larry Ogunjobi (knee) and defensive lineman Cameron Heyward (rest) all were full participants on Friday and did not receive a designation on the final report.

Former Steelers QB Makes Bold Tom Brady Prediction
PITTSBURGH — The Pittsburgh Steelers fanbase still remembers, and loves to hear, the name Devlin ‘Duck’ Hodges. And while the former starting quarterback isn’t in the NFL anymore, he’s making some bold predictions about who could be coming back – and it’s not himself.
With the Miami Dolphins losing quarterback Tua Tagovailoa to a concussion in Week 2 against the Buffalo Bills, Hodges believes they’ll make a phone call to a familiar foe. And while the legend he’s predicting has plenty going on, there are always rumbles of his return to football, and with a connection to Miami, maybe it’s the perfect fit.
“Tom Brady to the Miami Dolphins… heard it here first,” Hodges wrote on X. “Watch.”
Brady was once believed to be an option for the Dolphins, who just signed Tagovailoa to a long-term extension worth $212 million over the next four years. With him sidelined with another scary concussion situation, there are going to be questions about his return.
If he chooses not to play until fully healed, or decides it’ll be longer than that, maybe the Dolphins start calling around. And maybe Hodges has predicted who will come lead a group with two star wide receivers, an offensive-minded head coach and a stout running game in 2024.
Hodges spent one year in Pittsburgh in 2019, stepping in for an injured Mason Rudolph and running with the opportunity. He went 3-3 as a starter, throwing for 1,063 yards and five touchdowns, with eight interceptions. The Steelers came one game away from the playoffs that season despite losing Ben Roethlisberger and Rudolph to injuries.
Now, Hodges remains in the spotlight with his social media accounts, and alongside his country music girlfriend Laney Wilson. In the eyes of Steelers Nation, Hodges is still a fan favorite, and every once in awhile, someone has a bold prediction about him, much like his about Brady.
