Currently, the Pittsburgh Steelers are deeply engaged in their game-planning phase for their upcoming matchup against the Atlanta Falcons. However, Wednesday’s focus extended beyond just strategizing for their opponents. The team placed significant emphasis on addressing their own roster issues, particularly with several key players recovering from injuries.
In recent developments, the Steelers have had to adjust their practice squad due to an unfortunate injury to running back Boston Scott.

In addition to this, the Steelers have been diligently assessing their injury situation and determining the next steps for their roster. Players such as Jaylen Warren, Troy Fautanu, Roman Wilson, and others are currently in the process of returning to full health and resuming their roles. This evaluation process is crucial for the Steelers as they work to solidify their lineup and strategy for the upcoming game.
As the week progresses, the Steelers will gain a more precise understanding of their personnel and how best to utilize their players. This ongoing assessment and adjustment period is essential for optimizing their performance and readiness for the Atlanta Falcons.
