The Steelers will have a full slate of healthy offensive linemen as they head into Sunday night's game against the Baltimore Ravens. David DeCastro and Marcus Gilbert were full participants in practice on Friday, and haven't missed any time at all this week.
Both players missed the Buccaneers game, but returned to practice on Wednesday, and are hopeful to play Sunday night against the Baltimore Ravens at Heinz Field.
"I hate missing any game," said Gilbert, who was out with a hamstring injury. "My goal strictly is to play all 16 games. Now we are down to 15. That is my whole, sole focus, to be out there as much as I can, be as healthy as I can and help our team get a victory."
With Gilbert out last week, Matt Feiler stepped in at right tackle and Gilbert liked what he saw.
"He did really good," said Gilbert. "We have been playing together so long, and the expectation is so high, and he did what was expected."
DeCastro, who suffered a hand injury in the season opener and missed the last two games, also hopes to be out there on Sunday night.
JuJu Smith-Schuster, who missed practice on Wednesday, was limited on Thursday with an abdominal injury, but was a full go on Friday.
Morgan Burnett, who missed the Buccaneers game with a groin injury, was a full participant in practice on Wednesday, but was limited on Thursday with a groin injury and didn't practice on Friday. He is listed as doubtful for Sunday night.
"You don't want to ever miss anything, whether it's practice or a game, especially a game, a primetime game," said Burnett. "You don't want to miss. It's a long season. You can't look at the negative, just the positive and keep a positive vibe on yourself."
Mike Hilton missed practice on Wednesday with an elbow injury he suffered against the Buccaneers on Monday night. Hilton worked on a limited basis on Thursday, but missed practice on Friday and is also doubtful.
"That initial pain, you never know what to expect," said Hilton. "I was relived it wasn't more serious. The way it looked, it could have been worse. Most people thought it was my shoulder. Being my elbow I can deal with. Hopefully I will be ready to go on Sunday."
