Atlanta Falcons vs. Pittsburgh Steelers: Wednesday injury report

The Atlanta Falcons and Pittsburgh Steelers are set to square off this Sunday at Mercedes-Benz Stadium to open the 2024 season. Each team has a new starting quarterback and offensive play-caller. Former Falcons coach Arthur Smith was hired as the Steelers’ offensive coordinator while Atlanta hired former Rams QB coach Zac Robinson to take over play-calling duties.

On Wednesday, Falcons head coach Raheem Morris said two players were limited at practice. Tight end Kyle Pitts is dealing with a hamstring injury and linebacker Nate Landman has an oblique injury. Pitts shouldn’t miss any time and is expected to play in Week 1.

Pittsburgh has a much longer list of names on their injury report. Rookie wide receiver Roman Wilson (ankle), offensive lineman Troy Fautanu (knee) and running back Jaylen Warren (hamstring) were limited on Wednesday. Guard Isaac Seumalo (pectoral) did not practice and has been ruled out for Sunday’s game.
