Derek Watt (hamstring) and Marcus Allen (foot) were spectators and both have been ruled out for the game.
There was another Watt on the injury report on Thursday, as T.J. Watt was added with a knee injury and didn't practice. But he returned to the field on Friday and said he is ready to go.
"I feel great," said T.J. Watt. "I practiced well today, flying around. I'll be ready to go for Sunday, no doubt."
After missing practice on Wednesday, receivers JuJu Smith-Schuster (knee) and Diontae Johnson (toe) were both back on the field on both Thursday and Friday and aren't on the status report.
The Eagles ruled out three players for Sunday's game against the Steelers – wide receivers DeSean Jackson (hamstring) and Alshon Jeffery (non-COVID illness/foot), and cornerback Avonte Maddox (ankle).
Everyone else is good to go.
Steelers defense should have good day Sund

Rod Woodson: Steelers defense reminiscent of 'Blitzburgh' units from 90s
The Steelers are blitzing 51.2% of the time, by far the most of any team a quarter of the way through the season. The Steelers led the league in sacks in each of the past three seasons and blitzed somewhere between 36-38% of the time.
This year they’re leading the league again, averaging five per game. (QB sacks)
The Steelers have given up some big plays early in the season, and opposing teams are throwing for an average of 236 yards per game. That’s an increase of 42 yards per game compared to last season, when the Steelers were the NFL’s third-ranked pass defense.
Rod Woodson, the Pro Football Hall of Fame defensive back who played for the Steelers from 1987 until 1996, likes the tweaks the Steelers have made early in the season, including the increased blitz rate.
“That’s not a lot,” Woodson said, in reference to the increased passing yards allowed. “I’m a believer in putting pressure on opposing quarterbacks and speeding up their reads. I like that. They have all the pieces to the puzzle to have a great defense.”
I like the way the Steelers are blitzing the year. might give up some passing yards but the Steelers defensive presser over the years also have gotten timely turnovers to win games.

Bad roughing the passer call. We're even now on bad calls.

Defense is struggling getting off the field. Not a good sign. Which team will make the adjustments and execute should make the difference.

I'd like to know how many times their RT has to false start before they call it? By my count there are 3 so far on the RT and 1 on the LG.

1st half thoughts:
Offensive line looks suspect. Descastro is out for the game now. Need to give Ben some time.
Someone tell JuJu the game started. Has been non-existent thus far. If you want to be a #1 receiver, you have to beat their CBs.
Defense needs to play a bit tighter.
Let's not forget, the Eagles are down their starting 2 WRs.
