Meanwhile, the Steelers got right back to work themselves Monday morning with no days off because of the short week. But that also doesn't help some of their injured guys.
However, head coach Mike Tomlin did say he's not ruling anyone out and will leave the door open for Darius Heyward-Bey and DeAngelo Williams, but it still looks like those guys are at least a week away.
More is expected to be revealed about both players' statuses after Tuesday's practice.
