The Pittsburgh Steelers<\/a> unsurprisingly ruled out two standout players<\/a> ahead of the Week 7 Thursday Night Football matchup vs. the Cincinnati Bengals<\/a> \u2014 but one elite defender is also at risk of missing the contest after the final injury report<\/a> was revealed.<\/p>\n

Ahead of the contest, the Steelers<\/a> listed S DeShon Elliott as questionable to play vs. the Bengals after he missed practice on Tuesday as a non-injury resting veteran and on Wednesday with a personal designation \u2014 leaving many fans to wonder if he’ll be available on Thursday night.<\/p>\n

Earlier in the season, Elliott missed Weeks 2 and 3 with a knee injury but made a triumphant return against the Minnesota Vikings<\/a> \u2014 giving Pittsburgh’s defense enough of an advantage to earn the victory in Dublin, Ireland.<\/p>\n

It remains to be seen what this mysterious \u201cpersonal\u201d designation is or means for Elliott’s Week 7 availability, but we at Steelers Wire are committed to keeping you updated on his status as we inch closer to kickoff.<\/p>\n
