This weekend, the Pittsburgh Steelers have their home opener against the Seattle Seahawks. The Steelers head into this game coming off oc a 34-32 win over the New York Jets. The Steelers got four passing touchdowns from new starting quarterback Aaron Rodgers and were able to move the ball on the Jets’ secondary when the run game struggled.
This week, the Steelers could have another big day passing as the Seahawks’ secondary is pretty banged up. On Thursday, starting cornerback Devon Witherspoon and safety Julian Love both missed practice with an injury. In addition, Love’s backup, Nick Emmanwori, also missed Thursday with an ankle injury. Here are the players who missed Thursday with injuries.

Seattle starting defensive tackle Jarran Reed also missed practice on Thursday. Meanwhile, the Steelers are hoping to get one of their own starting cornerbacks healthy as Joey Porter Jr. has missed practice this week with a hamstring injury as they sort out a new starting safety thanks to an injury to DeShon Elliott.
