practice while Morgan Burnett was limited The Pittsburgh Steelers’ first injury report of the week might appear to feature a long list of names Authentic Jon Bostic Jersey , but more than half of the players sitting out practice on Wednesday were the beneficiaries of a coach’s day off. The key injury concerns heading into Week 5 appear to be Vince Williams and Morgan Burnett, with Chris Boswell and Darrius Heyward-Bey making a surprise appearance on the list to start the week. Williams’ absence was always expected after he left the contest early against the Baltimore Ravens with a hamstring injury, and he’s in danger of missing the first game of his career due to injury on Sunday. Tyler Matakevich, L.J. Fort and Matthew Thomas all received snaps with the first-team in his place, and it appears a combination of these players would replace him against the Atlanta Falcons if he cannot play. With Burnett continuing to work his way back from a groin injury, his participation on game day will not happen unless he can at least train fully with the team on Thursday or Friday.After a teammate stepped on his foot during practice, Chris Boswell was forced to leave the field early on Wednesday, but it’s presumed he’ll be available to play against the Falcons.The availability of Heyward-Bey could be in doubt http://www.pittsburghsteelersteamstore.com/t.-j.-watt-jersey , having sat out training with an ankle injury. But there was better news to share about the health of Mike Hilton after he was a full participant in practice, albeit wearing a brace on his elbow.Although Ben Roethlisberger, Joe Haden and Maurkice Pouncey were listed among the players missing practice, it’s presumed each was given a veteran rest day, as has become the norm for a number of key starters this season. All are expected to be back at practice on Thursday. The Pittsburgh Steelers defeated the Carolina Panthers in convincing fashion on Thursday Night Football, but it didn’t come without controversy and/or concern. In the third quarter, Ben Roethlisberger scrambled for a first down. Noticing he had already passed the yard to gain, and realizing he wouldn’t be able to reach the endzone Authentic Bud Dupree Jersey , Roethlisberger took to a feet first slide. Panthers safety Eric Reed must not have seen Roethlisberger giving himself up, and hit the Steelers’ quarterback with his shoulder directly in the facemask. Roethlisberger’s head snapped back, and he is fortunate he was able to bounce right back up after taking such a blow to the head.But the play didn’t end there. David DeCastro and Maurkice Pouncey both rushed to Roethlisberger’s aid. Not to see if No. 7 was okay, but to more or less let Reid know what he did isn’t going to fly. Not at Heinz Field. Not against this team.Reid was ejected from the game, and one has to wonder if the Steelers wouldn’t have had tried to exact their own revenge on Reid had he remained in the game, or if the threat of this went into the decision to eject, rather than just penalize Reid.Either way, according to Maurkice Pouncey http://www.pittsburghsteelersteamstore.com/sean-davis-jersey , Roethlisberger told the offensive line if any of them get fines for their involvement in the skirmish, Roethlisberger has them covered.This from Will Graves of the Associated Press:You can’t blame Roethlisberger for doing something like this, especially after watching his teammates stand up for him in the way they did. Will Pouncey and/or DeCastro be hearing from the NFL league offices this upcoming Monday? There is a chance, but I doubt anyone has a problem with it.Stay tuned to more news surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers as they go into a weekend break before returning and starting their preparations for the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 11.
