Description

Post-Gazette Steelers insiders Gerry Dulac and Ray Fittipaldo report from Thursday's practice at the team's facility ahead of its NFL Week 15 matchup with the Miami Dolphins on Monday Night Football.


They start by breaking down the news that star outside linebacker T.J. Watt was in the hospital Thursday while being evaluated for a lung condition. While Watt's availability and status are up in the air, what will the Steelers defense look like if he can't go? Are Nick Herbig and Alex Highsmith prepared to step into that role? What about rookie Jack Sawyer?


Who can help fill gaps as the Steelers prepare to face De'Von Achane and the strong Dolphins run game? What's with this streak of facing some of the NFL's best rushing attacks? And what is Derrick Harmon's status, as he revealed Thursday he's dealing with the same knee that caused him to miss games early in the season but a different injury? Our duo answers those questions and more.
