Overview
- The Steelers’ official report listed Calvin Austin III as a full participant on Wednesday, his first unrestricted practice since his Week 4 shoulder injury.
- Austin missed two games after being hurt in Dublin and sent to a local hospital, with X-rays later returning negative.
- Early chatter about a possible injured reserve stint has faded, giving him a chance to play in Week 8 instead of sitting through Week 9.
- Roman Wilson and Scotty Miller handled offensive snaps in his absence as Ke’Shawn Williams took over punt returns, roles that could shift if Austin is active.
- Center Zach Frazier was limited with a calf issue, Will Howard and Malik Harrison fully practiced, and veterans T.J. Watt and Cameron Heyward received rest days.
