Overview
- Steelers coach Mike Tomlin called Carson Wentz a “grizzly veteran” who “certainly has our attention,” as Minnesota turns to him again with J.J. McCarthy still sidelined by an ankle injury.
- Wentz is coming off a 14-of-20, 173-yard, two-touchdown outing in a 48-10 win over Cincinnati, a performance Tomlin cited as a short‑term boost for the Vikings’ offense.
- Pittsburgh’s defense is banged up for Sunday’s international kickoff in Dublin, with Alex Highsmith ruled out and Joey Porter Jr. and DeShon Elliott uncertain after recent setbacks.
- The Ravens lead the NFL in scoring at 111 points through three games yet sit 1-2, with Marlon Humphrey conceding, “We’re just not very good,” after another late defensive letdown.
- Baltimore’s pass rush is depleted with Nnamdi Madubuike (neck) and Kyle Van Noy (hamstring) out recently, the team adding DT Taven Bryan to the practice squad as local reports highlight a worst‑ranked defense heading to face Patrick Mahomes.
