Impact Dupree now has sacks in back-to-back contests and only trails Devin Bush in defensive snaps amongst Pittsburgh linebacking corps. He'll now switch his focus to the Titans, who are only allowing one sack per game this season -- tied for third best in the league.

Andrew Thomas meeting Giants expectations at left tackle

All clear Wednesday Dupree (shoulder) was absent from the team's injury report Thursday.
Impact Coach Mike Tomlin expressed concern for the Kentucky product following Sunday's win over Denver, saying Dupree could be limited in practice this week. Dupree has bucked that thought, as he's been a full participant during each practice. Expect the fifth-year pro to assume his usual starting role as one the team's starting outside linebackers in Week 3.

Battling shoulder injury Coach Mike Tomlin relayed that Dupree (shoulder) may be limited in practice this week, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Dupree logged a full workload in this past Sunday's win over the Broncos, recording two tackles, a sack and a forced fumble. Tomlin didn't illustrate it as a serious injury, but it's worth monitoring ahead of Sunday's game versus the Texans. However, if Dupree's forced to miss any time, either Olasunkanmi Adeniyi or Alex Highsmith will bump into a starting role.

2-0 or 0-2? Steelers, Roethlisberger eye improvement

Notches first sack of season Dupree recorded two tackles (one solo) including a sack in Pittsburgh's 26-21 win over Denver Sunday.
Impact On Denver's second offensive series Drew Lock was sacked by Dupree for an 11-yard loss, forcing a fumble. Lock (shoulder) exited the game and did not return. Pittsburgh's defense looks just as aggressive as it did last season, when it led the NFL in sacks and turnovers forced. After handling Daniel Jones in Week 1 and both Lock and Jeff Driskell this week, the Steelers face their most difficult challenge against Deshaun Watson and the Texans in Week 3.
