Elliott (hamstring) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Ravens, Burt Lautenof the Pittsburgh Steelers reports. Elliott was trending towards being out for Saturday throughout the week, so the actual designation doesn't come as too much of a surprise. The starting safety will now miss back-to-back matchups as the Steelers take on a tough Baltimore squad. His next chance to see the field will be in Week 17 at home against the Chiefs.

Steelers Injury Report
Elliott (hamstring) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Ravens, Burt Lautenof the Pittsburgh Steelers reports. Elliott was trending towards being out for Saturday throughout the week, so the actual designation doesn't come as too much of a surprise. The starting safety will now miss back-to-back matchups as the Steelers take on a tough Baltimore squad. His next chance to see the field will be in Week 17 at home against the Chiefs.
Jackson (back) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice and is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Ravens, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports. Jackson is working through a pinched nerve in his back that he suffered during Pittsburgh's Week 15 loss to Philadelphia. He was held out of walkthroughs Tuesday and Wednesday, but he managed to participate in Thursday's practice in a limited capacity to give himself a chance to play in Saturday's AFC North showdown. If Jackson isn't cleared to play, then James Pierre would be the top candidate to start at outside corner opposite Joey Porter.
Ogunjobi (groin) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice and is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Ravens, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports. Ogunjobi was unable to play in the Steelers' Week 15 loss to the Eagles due to a groin injury he suffered against the Browns in Week 14. He was listed as a limited practice participant all week, and his official status for Saturday's AFC North clash may not be known until the Steelers release the inactive players list approximately 90 minutes before the 4:30 p.m. ET kickoff. If Ogunjobi is unable to play, Dean Lowry and Isaiahh Loudermilk would both see increased snaps at defensive end alongside starter Cameron Heyward.
Watt (ankle) was a full participant in Thursday's practice and does not carry an injury designation into Saturday's AFC North clash against Baltimore, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports. Watt suffered a low-ankle sprain during the Steelers' Week 15 loss to the Eagles. It doesn't appear to be a serious issue, as he was able to practice without limitations Thursday. Watt has logged 5.0 sacks over the Steelers' last five games, and his 11.5 sacks through 14 regular-season contests is tied for third-most in the NFL with Nik Bonitto.
Elliott (hamstring) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice and is listed as doubtful for Saturday's game against the Ravens, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports. Elliott injured his hamstring during the Steelers' Week 14 win over the Browns, which forced to be sidelined against the Eagles this past Sunday. Although he was able to practice in a limited capacity Thursday, it appears Elliott is facing an uphill battle to play in Saturday's AFC North showdown. Assuming Elliott is ruled out, Damontae Kazee would be slated to start at strong safety for a second straight game.
Pickens (hamstring) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Ravens, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports. Pickens, who was listed as a non-participant at practice Tuesday through Thursday, will target a potential return to action next Wednesday, when the Steelers face the Chiefs. With Pickens set to miss his third straight game, look for Calvin Austin and Van Jefferson to lead the team's wideout corps versus Baltimore, with Mike Williams, Scotty Miller and Ben Skowronek also mixing in.
Fields (abdomen) did not practice Thursday and is ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Ravens, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports. Fields hasn't yet practiced in any capacity since sustaining an abdomen injury during Pittsburgh's loss to the Eagles in Week 15. He picked up the injury on an eight-yard rush in the second quarter of the Steelers' loss. Until Fields is cleared to retake the field, Kyle Allen handle backup quarterback duties behind Russell Wilson.
Kazee recorded eight tackles (four solo) in the Steelers' loss to the Eagles on Sunday. With DeShon Elliott (hamstring) out for Week 15, Kazee made his first start of the season and logged a season-best 80 percent of the defensive snaps. On the year, Kazee has 24 tackles (15 solo) and one interception as a third safety and special teamer.
