Wide receivers Chase Claypool and James Washington remained limited at practice during a week in which the Pittsburgh Steelers are moving on after a season-ending injury to receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster.

Claypool has a lingering hamstring injury that prevented him from playing in the Oct. 3 game at Green Bay, and Washington did not play in this past week’s win against Denver because of a groin injury.

Smith-Schuster had season-ending shoulder surgery Wednesday.

Cornerback Cameron Sutton remained well on track to return to game action after missing the Broncos game because of a groin injury. He was was a full practice participant for a second consecutive day Thursday, as was inside linebacker Devin Bush. Bush left Sunday’s game early because of a groin injury.

Starting defensive lineman Cameron Heyward practiced fully, and backup defensive lineman Carlos Davis was a limited participant for the second straight day. Davis has not played since Week 1 because of a knee injury, and Heyward’s neck ailment has not prevented him from playing any part of any game.

The only new addition Thursday to the injury report was little-used cornerback Ahkello Witherspoon, who did not practice because of “coaches decision.”
