Mike Tomlin gives encouraging update on three key injured Steelers starters

PITTSBURGH - Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris, cornerback Donte Jackson, and wide receiver Calvin Austin III were all banged up against the Washington Commanders, but head coach Mike Tomlin does not expect them to miss Sunday's game against the Baltimore Ravens.

Jackson suffered a hamstring injury in the third quarter of the game and did not return. Following the game, sources told PennLive that he was 'okay' and was diagnosed with a grade 1 hamstring strain. He will be limited early in the week, but is expected to play.

Harris said he was rolled up on during a run in the fourth quarter. However, he returned to the game and underwent testing on Monday, which did not show a severe injury. He will likely be limited early in the week but should play against the Ravens.

Austin was shaken up with an undisclosed injury on the Steelers' go-ahead touchdown drive when he caught a ball over the middle of the field and got sandwiched between two defenders. He could be limited early in the week, but the team also expects him to return.

On top of those players, outside linebacker Nick Herbig will return this week after missing the last four games with a hamstring strain. Outside linebacker Alex Highsmith was ruled out with a low ankle sprain.
