The game will air on Amazon Prime. History: Pittsburgh won both meetings last year and has gone 11-3-1 against Cleveland since 2015. Last Week: The Steelers (1-1) are coming off a 17-14 loss to the Patriots. While the Browns (1-1) suffered an embarrassing defeat to the Jets. Brissett: Jacoby Brissett is off to a mediocre start this season but could have success against a Steelers’ defense that is allowing the sixth-most passing yards (404 per game) in the league. - Amari Cooper — who caught 9 passes for 101 yards and a touchdown last week — should see significant targets. QB Controversy: Steelers fans have already grown tired of Mitch Trubisky — who may need a strong performance to hold off first-round rookie Kenny Pickett. - Trubisky is only averaging 181 passing yards per game this season. CLE Injuries: DE Myles Garrett (neck), RT Jack Conklin (bicep), and Joel Bitonio (knee) are banged up but expected to play. Jadeveon Clowney (ankle) has already been ruled out. PIT Injuries: The Steelers are injury-free. Image: John Byrum/Icon Sportswire Chargers [Justin Herbert] Justin Herbert (ribs) is preparing to play in Week 3 Details: According to Bridget Condon (NFL Network), Herbert [threw]( passes— without signs of visible pain — in a non-contact setting on Tuesday. - Herbert fractured his rib cartilage last week against the Chiefs. Wednesday: Herbert did [not]( throw during Wednesday’s practice but did participate in individual drills (i.e. handing the ball off to running backs). - He was also seen “skipping, twisting, and stretching” during warmups Staley: Chargers HC Joe Staley told reporters that Herbert feels more comfortable, though he continues to classify Herbert’s status as “day-to-day.” Daniel: In the event Herbert doesn’t play, Chase Daniel will start against the Jaguars on Sunday. Somehow Daniel has only made five starts across his entire 13-year NFL career. Keenan: Keenan Allen, who did not play last week with a hamstring injury, returned to practice on Wednesday and seems to be trending in the right direction for this week’s game. Image: Brian Rothmuller/Icon Sportswire Kittle [George Kittle] George Kittle is expected to make his season debut in Week 3 Details: According to Nick Wagoner (ESPN), there is “[optimism](” that Kittle will play Sunday night against the Broncos. - Kittle, who missed the first two weeks of the season with a groin injury, got in a limited practice on Wednesday. 2021: Kittle caught 71-of-94 targets for 910 yards and 6 touchdowns last season. More 49ers News... - Apparently, the Commanders came [very close]( to trading for Jimmy Garoppolo in March. - The 49ers are favored to beat the Broncos by a single point. Image: Robin Alam/Icon Sportswire Together with Stathead Question of the Day Which TE has the most PPR fantasy points this season? - Travis Kelce - Gerald Everett - Mark Andrews - Darren Waller Colts [Michael Pittman] Colts WRs Michael Pittman Jr. and Alec Pierce returned to practice Pittman: Pittman, who missed last week’s game with a quad injury, got in a limited on Wednesday. - Zak Keefer (The Athletic) expects Pittman to [play]( against the Chiefs this week. Pierce: Pierce, who missed last week’s game with a concussion, was a full participant on Wednesday. Like Pittman, he is trending in the right direction for Sunday’s matchup. Week 1: Pittman operated as Matt Ryan’s preferred target in Week 1 — reeling in 9-of-13 targets for 121 yards and 1 touchdown. Pierce was not targeted. More Colts News... - LB Shaq Leonard (back) practiced in full and could make his season debut this week. - The Colts are 5.5-point underdogs against the Chiefs. Image: Jeffrey Brown/Icon Sportswire Kamara [Alvin Kamara] Alvin Kamara (ribs) is trending toward a Week 3 return Details: The insight comes from Nick Underhill, who said that Kamara “[moved well](” in his return to practice on Wednesday and looks like a “guy who is on the comeback trail.” - Kamara missed last week’s game with a rib cartilage issue. Soft Opponent: If he can play this week, Kamara will face a Carolina defense that has allowed the fourth-most rushing yards (160 per game) this season. More Saints News... - Jameis Winston (back) was [limited]( in practice. - CB Paulson Adebo (ankle) is also progressing toward a return. - The Saints are 3-point favorites over the Panthers. Image: Ken Murray/Icon Sportswire Golladay [Kenny Golladay] Kenny Golladay is not happy with his low snap count Background: Golladay only played two snaps in the Giants’ 19-17 victory over the Panthers last week. Upset: When asked about the situation on Wednesday, Golladay said he [should]( be playing and that he doesn’t agree with or like Brian Daboll’s decision to keep him on the bench. Statement: Daboll’s decision to bench Golladay (who is getting paid $18 million this year) for David Sills (who is getting paid $825,000) sends a statement to the locker room about merit-based playing time. - The new Giants regime was not impressed with Golladay’s performance in training camp and the preseason. - The team has taken a similar approach with 2021 first-rounder Kadarius Toney — who has barely seen the field this season. Trade? Golladay did not rule out requesting a trade — though his bloated contract will likely prevent one from happening. WR1: Sterling Shepard (10 targets through two weeks) has been operating as Daniel Jones’ favored option in the passing game.
