Broderick Jones, Pat Freiermuth added to Steelers injury report

Right tackle Broderick Jones and tight end Pat Freiermuth were additions to the Pittsburgh Steelers injury report on Tuesday, each of the starters on offense listed as a limited participant at practice.

Jones has an ankle injury and Freiermuth a knee ailment. Neither is expected to miss Saturday’s game against the Cincinnati Bengals. Also expected to be cleared in time for Saturday despite being on the report are starting left guard Isaac Seumalo, defensive lineman Cameron Heyward, running back Najee Harris and safety Trenton Thompson.

Seumalo has not practiced since Dec. 1 but has played in each of the past two Steelers games despite suffering a shoulder injury during the Dec. 3 loss to the Arizona Cardinals. Heyward is in NFL concussion protocol but that he is already on the practice field is a positive development. Harris has missed practice time the past two weeks because of a knee injury but has not missed any games. Thompson suffered his neck injury during last week’s loss at the Indianapolis Colts but returned to the game.

Coach Mike Tomlin previously announced that All-Pro safety Minkah Fitzpatrick would miss the Bengals game because of a knee injury suffered against the Colts.

Quarterback Kenny Pickett was a limited participant at Tuesday’s practice after missing the past two games because of an ankle injury. Safety Elijah Riley was listed as limited in his return to practice while on injured reserve because of an ankle injury.
