Jones was cleared to participate in an exercise challenge today and was limited in practice. There is a possibility he could play this Sunday depending on the severity of his concussion and how he progresses. He’ll have to pass concussion tests of course, but Dick LeBeau said he looks pretty good and is optimistic that he’ll be able to play on Sunday.

Mike Tomlin gave some injury updates to the media today. For starters, Markus Wheaton will be out again this week as he continues to recover from his finger surgery. Brett Keisel, who left the Jets game with what was initially described as a rib injury, is expected to be able to play on Sunday. Tomlin said his injury “is really kind of muscular in nature in that area”. He’ll probably experience some discomfort throughout the week, but we expect him to perk up and be ready to go. Lamarr Woodley has some inflamation in his right knee, that might limit him throughout the week, but should not limit him at all during the football game on Sunday.
Sean Spence will participate in a limited capacity this week, probably individual drills. Matt Spaeth is going to stay where he’s at for now. The team wants to see how Spence looks in drills on the field before determining how to proceed with his participation moving forward.
The team has placed OT Levi Brown and TE David Johnson on IR, and announced two signings to fill the available roster spots. Brown injured his right triceps during pregame warmups on Sunday. He missed the 2012 season due to an injury to that muscle. Johnson dislocated his left wrist early in the first quarter against the Jets.
To fill the available roster spots, the Steelers have brought up CB Isaiah Green from the practice squad and have signed TE Richard Gordon. Green has been on and off the practice squad this season. You can see his roster bouncing here- Isaiah Green. Richard Gordon is a 6′ 4″, 285 lb free agent tight end who was released by the Raiders in August. The former 2011 6th round draft pick played with Oakland for 2 seasons, and started in 2 out of the 27 games in which he was active. His stats- 2 yards in 2011, 9 yards in 2012 with 1 touchdown. He was targeted once in 2011, and 7 times in 2012. It looks like the team is standing pat at the tackle position…at least for now.
Two players were injured during (well, one was before) the victory over the New York Jets yesterday. Newly acquired OT Levi Brown injured his triceps during pregame warm ups and was scratched for the game. It was his right triceps, the same he tore in the 2012 preseason which caused him to miss the regular season last year.
David Johnson left early in the first quarter with what was later described as a dislocated left wrist. Coach Tomlin said both player’s injuries could be significant. Johnson has actually been playing solid football this season. We’ll likely have to wait until at least tomorrow to find out further details on the severity of the two injuries.
*Edit
Brett Keisel left the game with a rib injury that Coach Tomlin described as not serious after the game.
The injury news concerning the Steelers is pretty good. The official injury report looks like this:
Out: Markus Wheaton (finger)
Probable: Ben Roethlisberger (finger), Heath Miller (non injury), Ramon Foster (pectoral strain).
For the Jets:
Out: Santonio Holmes, CB Dee Milliner
Doubtful: TE Kellen Winslow
Questionable: CB Antonio Cromartie. Cromartie didn’t practice on Friday, after suffering a ‘non-contact’ knee injury Thursday.

Both Ben Roethlisberger and Ramon Foster participated fully in practice today. Heath Miller was limited, but this was listed as being a coach’s decision. Ramon Foster said he thinks he’ll be fine and that he’ll probably play against the Jets this Sunday. Dick LeBeau told reporters that Cortez Allen is still hampered by his ankle sprain.
