The Pittsburgh Steelers will be without five players for their Week 17 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. Cornerback Ahkello Witherspoon (hamstring), safety Minkah Fitzpatrick (knee), and defensive tackle Larry Ogunjobi (toe) have all been ruled out. Tight end Pat Freiermuth (concussion) and linebacker T.J. Watt (knee) are both questionable.
Ravens' Injuries
The Baltimore Ravens will also be missing some key players on Sunday. Running back J.K. Dobbins (knee) and cornerback Marcus Peters (knee) have both been ruled out. Outside linebacker Tyus Bowser (Achilles) is doubtful.
Injury Analysis
The Steelers will be without several key players on defense, which could make it difficult for them to stop the Ravens' high-powered offense. Fitzpatrick is one of the best safeties in the NFL, and Watt is a three-time Defensive Player of the Year. If Freiermuth is unable to play, it would be a big blow to the Steelers' passing game.
The Ravens will be without their leading rusher in Dobbins, but they still have plenty of other weapons on offense. Quarterback Lamar Jackson is one of the most dangerous players in the NFL, and he has a number of talented receivers to throw to. If Peters is unable to play, it would be a big loss for the Ravens' defense.
Conclusion
The Steelers and Ravens are both fighting for a playoff spot, so this game is very important for both teams. The injuries to both teams will certainly have an impact on the outcome of the game.
