During the week quarterback, Ben Roethlisberger and wide receiver Chase Claypool were limited at practice. Both are currently listed as questionable to play Sunday. Tackle Zach Banner returns from IR after suffering a season-ending knee injury during the 2020 season. The Steelers lead the serious 77-61-1.

After narrowly escaping the Denver Broncos the Browns enter Steeler's week with multiple injuries. The Browns are unsure if quarterback Baker Mayfield will play Sunday. In their week 6 match-up against the Cardinals Baker Mayfield aggravated a left shoulder injury sustained earlier in the season. During the week the Browns revealed Mayfield has a fractured shoulder in addition to a torn labrum. If Mayfield cannot play backup Case Keenum will start for a second week. Thursday night Keenum led the Browns to a victory finishing the game with 199 yards and a touchdown.
