Cam Heyward, the top defensive lineman for the Pittsburgh Steelers, missed practice early this week due to the sickness. Heyward had the sickness when he played against the Cincinnati Bengals, but in the days after the game, it has only gotten worse. He was not seen at the facility on Tuesday and was excused from the Monday team meeting.
Despite his limited participation early in the week, Heyward is anticipated to participate as he continues to recuperate from the sickness. After signing a new contract with the Steelers, he is enjoying one of his best seasons to date.
One of the most successful seasons in NFL history for an interior defensive lineman 35 years of age or older, Heyward finished the season with eight sacks. He is a game-changing talent who has continuously excelled throughout his career, and the Steelers need him healthy for their matchup with the Ravens.
Heyward’s current three-year contract with the Steelers expires after the 2026 season, at which point he will have to make a decision about whether or not to stay in the game.
