Steelers-Bills injury report: DK Metcalf doesn’t practice Wednesday

The Steelers and Bills returned to practice on Wednesday ahead of their Sunday matchup in Pittsburgh, and each team is banged up early in Week 13.

For the Steelers, defensive lineman Derrick Harmon (knee) and offensive lineman Broderick Jones (neck) were both non-participants as expected. Head coach Mike Tomlin said both would be out this week in his Tuesday press conference.

Wide receiver D.K. Metcalf (ankle), quarterback Aaron Rodgers (left wrist), and wide receiver Ben Skowronek (shoulder) also did not participate.

Cornerback Joey Porter Jr. (hip), outside linebacker Alex Highsmith (pectoral), and defensive tackle Cam Heyward (ankle) were limited. Highsmith and Rodgers missed Pittsburgh’s Week 12 loss to the Bears, but could return this week against Buffalo.

The Bills had an even more extensive injury report, highlighted by starting linebacker Terrel Bernard and two starting offensive linemen in Spencer Brown and Dion Dawkins not participating in practice due to injury.
