The Pittsburgh Steelers head to Philadelphia for a Week 15 showdown against the Eagles on December 15, 2024. This clash between two historic franchises is more than just a game—it’s a fight for Keystone State bragging rights. The Steelers, led by Russell Wilson and a powerful defense anchored by T.J. Watt and Cam Heyward, aim to make a statement in their playoff push.

George Pickens injury update
For the second consecutive week, the Steelers must get their offense in a rhythm without George Pickens (hamstring). As expected, Pickens, who suffered the injury in practice last week, was ruled out.
DeShon Elliott injury update
Safety DeShon Elliott (hamstring), second on the team in tackles with 96, has also been ruled out. He could not practice all week after suffering the injury in the Steelers Week 14 over the Cleveland Browns.
Larry Ogunjobi injury update
Mike Tomlin said on Tuesday that he was hopeful that Larry Ogunjobi (groin) would play in Week 15, but he never practiced and has been ruled out. Ogunjobi played nine defensive snaps and recorded two total tackles in the Steelers’ Week 14 win over the Browns before exiting with the injury.
