CB Joe Haden doesn't practice for Steelers with knee injury
Cornerback Joe Haden, who sat out part of the fourth quarter Sunday with a knee injury, did not practice Tuesday as the Pittsburgh Steelers continued preparations for their Thanksgiving night game against the Baltimore Ravens at Heinz Field.
Haden played 37 of 58 snaps in the Steelers’ 27-3 victory at Jacksonville. He was pulled in favor of Justin Layne with the Steelers comfortably ahead in the fourth quarter.
Haden has played every game the past two seasons for the Steelers.
Wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster injured his foot against Jacksonville and was limited in practice Tuesday. Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger (quad) and defensive tackle Cameron Heyward (ankle) also were limited, but their partial absence also contained a not-injury-related designation.
Running backs Trey Edmunds (hamstring) and Jaylen Samuels (quad) did not practice after sitting out the game against the Jaguars. Linebacker Jayrone Elliott returned to practice after missing all of last week because of an illness.
Given the day off Tuesday were center Maurkice Pouncey and guard David DeCastro. All other players were full participants.
