The Steelers planned to have a walkthrough at Stade de France after arriving in Paris on Friday morning, but bad weather scrapped those plans and they’ll hold their final practice ahead of Sunday’s game against the Saints on Saturday.
The team still had to issue injury designations for the game, however, and that report shows a pair of players have been listed as questionable. Running back Rico Dowdle (knee) and safety DeShon Elliott (knee) drew those designations.
Elliott has been designated for return from injured reserve, so the team will need to activate him by Saturday afternoon in order for him to play. They have open spots on the 53-man roster, so that move would not require any corresponding cut.
Linebacker T.J. Watt has no designation after being added to the injury report with a calf issue on Thursday. Watt was limited in that practice, but the team said he would have been a full participant on Friday and head coach Mike McCarthy said he does not expect the injury to impact Watt’s availability.
Wide receiver Ben Skowronek (calf) and cornerback Brandin Echols (hamstring) were ruled out before the Steelers left for France.
