Injury Notes

  • Cleveland has three players ruled out this week: WR Rashard Higgins, MLB Joe Schobert, and CB E.J. Gaines. Gaines is still in the concussion protocol, so we may see Damarious Randall take on a cornerback role again.
  • Randall himself is questionable. He didn’t practice on Wednesday or Thursday, but was a limited participant on Friday. The same goes for C JC Tretter, who is going to gut out another game on his sore ankle.
  • The Steelers are without starting RT Marcus Gilbert for the second straight week, so Matt Feiler will start in his place again. The rest of the Steelers on the injury report appear good-to-go for Sunday.
