All the Information You Need to Know About the Steelers Playoff Game

Pittsburg — In the Wild Card round of the playoffs, the Pittsburgh Steelers will play the Buffalo Bills. Before the black and gold head to Orchard Park for their postseason run, there’s a lot to know about some significant injuries, practice squad contributions, and a running quarterback controversy.

The seventh-seeded Steelers in the AFC will visit Buffalo on Sunday, January 12, with a kickoff time of 1 p.m. ET. Mason Rudolph is expected to ride high as this team’s quarterback, guiding them into the Wild Card round following three winning games, barring any unforeseen circumstances.

The Steelers will keep an eye on three major injuries. Due to a grade 2 MCL sprain, outside linebacker T.J. Watt’s availability is uncertain. Right now, it’s thought that he would require many weeks to recuperate and rest. He’ll probably talk about the circumstances later this week.

safety If the Steelers advanced to the postseason, Minkah Fitzpatrick promised to play again after suffering a knee injury. He will return to the field in Buffalo, if you believe him when he says they’re in.

Trenton Thompson, who missed several weeks due to a neck injury, will also try to make a comeback. But the Steelers are hoping to move Thompson down the depth chart by adding another safety to their active roster.

Myles Jack and Eric Rowe will probably be added to the 53-man roster in time for the postseason following three outstanding weeks. Both have contributed significantly and have started the last three games. To play further, the Steelers will need to sign them to the active roster; but, this week is expected to see both actions.
