Steelers get DEVASTATING Update...

The Pittsburgh Steelers recently just got not great news as one of their defensive linemen popped up on the injury reserve. We got news on that, some possible replacements for that one player, and then overall injuries as we inch closer and closer to this game in Paris. Hopefully you guys are having a great day. Sadly, we have some not great news at the top of the show. Before we get into all of that, I want to remind you guys, of course, to subscribe to the channel, hit the notification bell, throw us a follow on Facebook from all the videos from Nick and I. We both really appreciate it, and we'll keep you up to date on all things Steelers news. And this is kind of the main news that we're going to talk about for today. The Steelers have placed Sebastian Joseph Day on the injury reserve list with a tricep injury. SJD didn't practice on Wednesday, and he did play 26 snaps against the Bucs. That was a season high, and it seems like Gabriel Rubio is now going to be the main defensive lineman in that point. Was not expecting at all for this injury to be as severe as it ended up being. I did not think it was going to be this type of injury where he was going to have to go on the injury reserve. But here we are. Overall, hasn't done a whole lot in this season. Obviously, he's only been on the team for this season, this duration, only six games. But definitely another blow, another player put on IR. There's a player later that seems like he will be off of IR. Literally could be this week. But no Sebastian Joseph Day, no Sebastian Joseph Day. As you see at the bottom of the tweet, I'm pointing the wrong way, the bottom of the tweet, Gabriel Rubio could be primed to start in Paris. And there's also some other players as well that definitely could be in the mix now with no Sebastian Joseph Day. They have a potential to bolster their rotation with guys like Kevin Jobiny Jr., who's been active throughout the entire—he's been on the active roster, but he's been inactive all the games. And then Eze Otomo has been on the practice squad. So those are two options for, you know, possible rotational replacements because Sebastian Joseph Day, coming into the year, was that rotational guy. And then he was kind of thrusted into more playing time when Derek Harmon went on the IR, and now he joins him on the IR. Just take a really quick look at a very limited amount of anything for Sebastian Joseph Day this season. Ten tackles, three sol. Again, really hasn't done much at all. 15.5 career sacks, 225 career tackles, two career forced fumbles. He's been a journeyman, but he's been a very solid journeyman. It was only supposed to be a rotational guy, but without that, I mean, it's great opportunities for guys like Gabriel Rubio, guys like Kevin Jobiny, guys like Ezio Tomo. Rubio's been great in his small amount that he's played, so it'll be interesting to see what they do with that defensive line. And you also saw you have Y.A. Black as well. Do you start Y.A. Black and maybe move Keanu Benton over to that defensive tackle role instead of that nose tackle role? We'll have to see. But no stats for Joseph Day. And also, before we get into the rest of the injuries that we had for yesterday on Thursday, of course, we're going to talk about our sponsor for today. And that is Kalshi. on Kalshi you're trading against other users not against the house like other sports books that you guys might think of you're buying yes or no contracts on things like sports politics the weather and you can still trade on this upcoming game in Paris Steelers currently a 63% chance of winning and if you do want to trade $25 on the Steelers to win the game you can bet yourself nearly $40 if you're interested in trying out Kalshi at all use the code in the description the pin comment and use promo code digest nfl you'll get $55 added to your account instantly after you trade your first $25 again that's promo code digest nfl all right let's hop into this injury report uh this is coming out friday so this was of yesterday two players have already been ruled out that being Ben Skoranek and that being Brandon Eccles um it would have been nice to have Skoranek back considering all the wide receiver injuries that the Steelers have faced I don't think we're going to get Roman Wilson back this week um you bring in Marquez Valdez Scantling he very well could play but I think Skoranek is a guy that at least just to have on your roster someone that Rodgers is comfortable with it would have been better than Brandon Smith I was trying to hype up Brandon Smith or at least you know show his potential last game he didn't really do anything um but no Ben Skoranek Jalen Ramsey limited Rico Dowdle still limited um Deshaun Elliott is full for the second day in a row we'll get into that in a little we'll you know get more into that later um Alex Highsmith still limited um TJ Watt limited but a calf injury did pop up there um still no Cam Hayward but seems like there's no injury designation there here are the main ones kind of you know showing up again no Brandon Eccles no Brandon no Ben Skoranek and then TJ Watt popping up with a calf injury and being questionable not fantastic so we'll definitely monitor that and make sure it's not more serious because man if this there's any player the Steelers don't want to lose it's probably this guy right so hopefully that you know can turn around quickly for the Steelers and for TJ Watt and then of course Deshaun Elliott get two straight days of full practice. This is from Nick Fairball. He's all but expected to return. Love, love, love to see this. Love to hear it. I've told you guys a few times how excited I am to get Deshaun Elliott back. He's not a superstar, but he's just such a solid piece of a defense that you can throw right back into a secondary that has gone through a lot of turmoil and that'll give it a little bit more consistency. If you can stay healthy, you know, hopefully you could say he could continue to stay healthy from this point but it immediately upgrades a secondary that has gone through a lot of stuff this entire year so really happy to see Deshaun Elliott possibly coming back to the team and then I do want to end on this we mentioned everything going on in Paris here recently there's a weekend event or there was a weekend event for Steelers fans in paris and was canceled because of security concerns uh with all the protests uh there in paris not great um it's weird to see the juxtaposition of canceling fan events but publicly having no real concern or no worry this is not i'm not talking about this either let's talk about the nfl here no real concern or seemingly questioning if the game is going to happen obviously you can't let stuff like this dictate you know you know multi-billion dollar organizations and what they're going to do but it's showing that you know they uh are a little worried about it in terms of security at least for the fans so this is just a little nugget of something to you know keep our eye on the game's going to happen hopefully smoothly but the game will happen and if you're going to the game first off lucky you wish it were you right now i wish i was in Paris. But if you are, stay safe. That's going to do it for everything that I have today. Hopefully you guys enjoyed. We'll be back really, really soon. See if TJ Watt gets healthy for the Friday practice. And we'll keep you up to date on all things as we lead into this Paris game. But hopefully you guys have a great rest of your day. See you guys very, very soon.
