PITTSBURGH \u2014 In addition to getting back T.J. Watt<\/a> for Sunday night\u2019s win-or-go-home game against the Baltimore Ravens, Pittsburgh Steelers left guard Isaac Seumalo (triceps) wide receiver Calvin Austin III (hamstring), cornerback Brandin Echols (groin) and cornerback James Pierre (calf) have no injury designation and are good to go for Sunday night.<\/p>\n

All five players were full participants at Friday\u2019s practice.<\/p>\n

Seumalo suffered the triceps injury in the team\u2019s Week 15 win over the Miami Dolphins. Seumalo has missed the last two games due to the injury. He was a limited participant in all three practices last week.<\/p>\n

Seumalo dealt with a pectoral ailment earlier in the season. Including against Miami, Seumalo has played in 13 games this season, starting all of them. He spent the first seven years of his career with the Philadelphia Eagles, who drafted him in the third round in 2016. He started over 60 games during that stretch with the Eagles.<\/p>\n

Spencer Anderson made his second consecutive start at left guard on Sunday against Cleveland, with Andrus Peat filling in when Anderson was used as the tight end in the team\u2019s jumbo package.<\/p>\n

Tight end Darnell Washington, who underwent surgery for his broken arm, was placed on injured reserve<\/a> with a broken left wrist. Anderson is expected to replace Washington at tight end in the jumbo package, so Seumalo returning will clear things up.<\/p>\n

Austin and Echols were both injured in the team\u2019s Week 16 win over the Detroit Lions. Neither returned to action after their injuries. Austin and Echols both did not practice last week and were out for Sunday\u2019s game against the Browns.<\/p>\n

The Steelers certainly need Austin back, as the wide receiver corps struggled mightily against Cleveland without DK Metcalf, who\u2019s serving a two-game suspension after getting into an altercation with a Lions fan in Week 16.<\/p>\n

Pierre missed his third straight game this past Sunday with a calf injury he suffered against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 14. Pierre was limited on Wednesday and Thursday last week before taking a step back and not practicing on Friday. Asante Samuel Jr. has replaced Pierre at outside cornerback since his injury.<\/p>\n

Pierre was limited on Wednesday but did not practice on Thursday due to an illness.<\/p>\n
