Steelers vs Niners: DT Cam Heyward confirms he’s playing Sunday

Pittsburgh Steelers defensive tackle Cam Heyward missed all or part of Wednesday and Thursday practice this week with what has been characterized as a stomach injury. But on Friday, Heyward returned to practice and based on the post below, Heyward will be playing on Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers.

Fellow defensive lineman Larry Ogunjobi also returned to practice on Friday but no official work yet if he will be available Sunday. Ogunjobi missed most of the preseason with a foot injury.

The Steelers are preparing to take on the Niners on Sunday and Heyward is the key to the success of that defensive line. If Ogunjobi cannot go, look for DeMarvin Leal to have a much better role on defense as well as rookie Keeanu Benton.
