Wallace, not practicing.

Dwyer not practicing.

Mendenhall practicing, and even taking some contact.

I think we are going to see RM playing this week. And my guess
is Wallace will suit up, unless it's a serious groin pull. Those can
take months to heal.

Harrison out. Maybe he will be back after bye.

Troy still out. Just let the F-ing guy sit until he is truly healed. I loath the old "pushing him to play early only to have him never heal" BS. Then again, this guy may never be right again no matter what.

Thank God. Hopefully we don't need Harrison to win this one.

Excellent news. I usually hate the bye week being this early but this may be the exception to key some folks well.

I agree with you. I generally hate the early bye, but it could work well this year to help get some key guys healthy.

You don't get any more key than Harrison and #43.

Steelers Thursday Injury Report: Dwyer, Gilbert, Sanders & Wallace Return To Practice – Miller Sits Again

Thursday, September 20th, 2012 by Dave Bryan

The Thursday injury report for the Pittsburgh Steelers is now out and it shows that tackle Mike Adams (back), linebacker James Harrison (knee), quarterback Byron Leftwich (illness), tight end Heath Miller (abdomen) and safety Troy Polamalu (calf) all failed to practice. Adams had been limited on Wednesday and Leftwich was added to the report today with an illness.

Running back Jonathan Dwyer (toe), tackle Marcus Gilbert (groin), wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders (knee) and wide receiver Mike Wallace (groin) all practiced fully on Thursday after sitting out Wednesday.

Running back Rashard Mendenhall (knee) and linebacker Stevenson Sylvester (knee) both practiced fully on Thursday. Sylvester was listed as limited on Wednesday, so signs are that he is getting close to returning to action.

At this point, Miller and Adams are the biggest concerns heading into Friday. The Steelers tight end reportedly suffered a rib cartilage separation in the game this past Sunday and has been sore ever since.

Both Harrison and Polamalu are not expected to play Sunday against the Oakland Raiders.
