The Pittsburgh Steelers have ruled out wide receiver Calvin Austin III for the team’s Week 7 “Thursday Night Football” game against the Cincinnati Bengals.
Austin III will miss his second straight game as he deals with a shoulder injury.
Penn Live’s Nick Farabaugh reported on the Steelers’ other injured players’ statuses on Wednesday afternoon.
“Calvin Austin III and Miles Killebrew are out tomorrow against the Bengals,” Farabaugh posted on X. “DeShon Elliott (personal) is questionable. Malik Harrison (knee) is also questionable.”
Special teams captain Miles Killebrew suffered what Steelers.com’s Teresa Varley reported was a “significant” knee injury during Week 6 against the Cleveland Browns.
