When it rains, it pours, as the Pittsburgh Steelers’ injury woes continue ahead of the Week 15 matchup against the Miami Dolphins on Monday Night Football.
On a day filled with concern for star edge rusher T.J. Watt, whose Week 15 status is uncertain after being hospitalized with a lung ailment, Steelers standout cornerback James Pierre missed practice with a calf injury — leaving many to speculate on his condition ahead of Monday’s contest.
Signing with the Steelers as an undrafted free agent in 2020, Pierre spent three seasons with the Black and Gold before signing with the Washington Commanders in March 2024. He would be released in August as a part of final roster cuts and return to Pittsburgh via the practice squad in September.
Pierre would finally earn a starting cornerback role late in the 2025 season, where his stellar play alongside CB Joey Porter Jr. has begun to turn the ship around for Pittsburgh defensively.
