Week 16 Pittsburgh Steelers Injury Report: Latest on George Pickens, T.J. Watt and Justin Fields more 

In Week 16, the Pittsburgh Steelers will make a short 250-mile trip east to battle the Baltimore Ravens in a critical divisional battle between the two arch-nemesis.

A win on Saturday, the Steelers' ninth over the Ravens in their last 10 meetings, will see them clinch the AFC North division title and book their berth in the playoffs. However, a loss will see both teams end the night with identical 10-5 records with two games left in the regular season.

With Pittsburgh scheduled to face the Kansas City Chiefs and Cincinnati Bengals in their final two games, a loss in Baltimore could seriously jeopardize their quest to win the division title for the first time since 2020.

The Steelers will view their Week 16 clash against the Ravens as a must-win. However, it won't be easy as they have several key players dealing with injuries and a couple have even been ruled out.

George Pickens injury update

For the third straight game, the Steelers will be without wide receiver George Pickens, who's nursing a hamstring injury. It's a massive blow to Pittsburgh's passing game, which has been heavily reliant on him.

Despite missing two games, Pickens leads the team with 55 catches and 850 receiving yards. Veteran tight end Pat Freiermuth is second on both lists with 47 receptions and 492 yards. The 358-yard difference between the two highlights how critical the wide receiver is and how huge his absence will be.

T.J. Watt injury update

Former Defensive Player of the Year T.J. Watt suffered an ankle injury late in the fourth quarter of the Steelers' Week 15 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.

The veteran grimaced in pain as he was looked at by the team's medical personnel on the bench. He missed practice last Wednesday, casting doubt over his availability for the game in Baltimore.

However, he returned to practice on Thursday and was a full participant on Friday, suggesting he'll play against the Ravens on Saturday. Watt's availability is a massive boost for the Steelers. He's third in the league in sacks with 11.5 and his presence on the defensive line will be critical in containing Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson.

Justin Fields injury update

The Steelers will be without backup quarterback Justin Fields, who suffered an abdominal injury in the loss to the Eagles. He took a shot to his abdomen in the third quarter and was later ruled out.

He did not practice throughout the week and won't be active for the game against the Ravens. In his absence, Kyle Allen will serve as the Steelers' backup quarterback behind Wilson.
