DeShon Elliott, a safety for the Pittsburgh Steelers, was downgraded from doubtful to out for Saturday’s game against the Baltimore Ravens. Elliott still requires more time to recuperate from a hamstring problem, even though he was promoted to a limited participant in practice on Thursday.
Elliott has missed two games in a row. He finished the game without coming out, but he did report the soreness following the team’s game against the Cleveland Browns. Elliott did not practice until Thursday after that game, and he will attempt to make a comeback on Wednesday against the Kansas City Chiefs.
In his place, the Steelers will look to Damontae Kazee and Cam Sutton. Minkah Fitzpatrick moved in the box to help cover for Elliott as both players battled against the Philadelphia Eagles. Elliott’s departure was a major blow to the Steelers, who still struggle, particularly in the tackle area. He practiced late in the week, so it appears likely that he will play on Christmas Day against the Chiefs.
