Here is the injury report for the Steelers and Jets game. Both teams are coming in banged up but are still pretty healthy compared to other teams.

Steelers Injuries
The Steelers have been struggling this season on both sides of the ball. But this could be a rebound game for this team against the Jets. The Jets are coming in with 2nd year QB Zach Wilson getting the start after not playing since early August.
The Steelers have made a change to the depth chart with naming Montravius Adams the starting Nose Tackle. The Steelers are looking to get their pass rush going with Malik Reed and Alex Highsmith.
Let’s get into the players to watch.

It was a nail-biting win for the Steelers in overtime last week. This offense looks to show the league what they can do this week against the Patriots. This is the first game between these two teams without Tom Brady and Ben Roethlisberger.
The Steelers Defense looks to continue the dominant play they showed last week even with the loss of TJ Watt. Malik Reed will look to fill in for TJ the best he can while he’s out.
Let’s get in the players to watch.

For the first time in eighteen seasons the steelers are taking on the defending AFC North Campions without Ben Roethlisberger on the Roster. The Bengals are coming off of a super bowl season.
Joe Burrow and the Bengals are looking to repeat. But this retooled Steelers team is looking to show them why they are still the King of the North, and why the North runs though Pittsburgh.
TJ Watt and the boys are looking to show Joe Burrow just how physical this game is, and always will be.
These are the players I’m watching in this game.

This a good week to get a good look at some of the Quarterback prospects for the 2023 NFL Draft. Four of the top ten Quarterbacks are going against some good defenses.
Some of the players I really want to get a better look at this week are DL Calijah Kancy (Pittsburgh), QB Hendon Hooker (Tennessee), Edge Will McDonald (Iowa State), and Safety Demani Richardson.
Let’s get in to the Prospects.
