Ravens vs. Steelers Sunday Night Football Injury Report
The Steelers enter this game with a pristine bill of health. They are getting multiple key contributors back, headlined by the return of all-world pass rusher T.J. Watt.
They will, however, be without WR DK Metcalf, who is still serving his two-game suspension for punching a fan in Week 16.
The Ravens are also fairly healthy but do have two players listed on their injury report as questionable with an illness: WR Rashod Bateman and CB Marlon Humphrey.
If Humphrey were to miss Sunday’s game, that would be a big blow to a Ravens defense that already ranks 21st (via SumerSports) in EPA per pass allowed.
