It’s only the biggest game of the season for the Pittsburgh Steelers. No big deal if the team is missing two pivotal starters, right? Wrong. The Steelers are getting ready to take on the Baltimore Ravens with the AFC North title hanging in the balance, and guys are missing on the all-important Thursday practice.

Ladarius Green (concussion) did not practice today. It's not looking good for the Steelers TE. PS DE Stephon Tuitt didn't practice either. https://t.co/ywoKCMw8WF — Aditi Kinkhabwala (@AKinkhabwala) December 22, 2016

There is always a possibility that both Ladarius Green and Stephon Tuitt could play, but the odds got very long when both guys are on the sidelines on Thursday. Green remains in the league’s concussion protocol while Tuitt is still recovering from a sprained knee he suffered against the Cincinnati Bengals.

In other bad news from Steelers’ practice, wide receiver Sammie Coates was injured during practice and had to leave.

Steelers WR Sammie Coates hurt his hamstring in practice today. And wow was he grumpy when he walked out. — Aditi Kinkhabwala (@AKinkhabwala) December 22, 2016

This season has been a nightmare for Coates. came into the season with high hopes, but after the first four games, everything fell apart. He broke two fingers and has been battling back ever since. He looked healthy last week although he still struggled to catch the football, but now this hamstring could set him back even further.
