On Saturday the Pittsburgh Steelers added outside linebacker Malik Reed to the injury report ahead of Sunday’s game with the Atlanta Falcons. Reed is listed as questionable with a back injury.
This is in addition to fellow outside linebacker T.J. Watt who is also listed as questionable with injured ribs. If Reed and Watt cannot go, the Steelers would be terribly thin opposite Alex Highsmith.
The Steelers brought in Reed to help bolster the depth at the position and be a starter if needed but his season has been nothing but a letdown. Reed has played in every game this season and has two starts but has only been able to muster one sack.
In addition, on the injury report, cornerback Ahkello Witherspoon continues his season to forget with a hamstring injury and backup running back Jaylen Warren is listed as questionable with a hamstring injury.
