Steelers injury updates: Minkah Fitzpatrick, 4 others will play

LAS VEGAS — The Steelers injury report looks pretty clean. The team will be mostly healthy heading into their Week 3 clash with the Las Vegas Raiders. Wide receiver Gunner Olszewski did not practice again on Friday with a concussion, which will rule him out for the game. But he is the only player with an injury designation.

With Olszewski out, Dez Fitzpatrick will make his season debut at wide receiver. Fitzpatrick and Miles Boykin will see more time against the Raiders regarding the depth chart. The Steelers could look to elevate Simi Fehoko, Jacob Copeland, or Deuce Watts from the practice squad as a sixth receiver.
