PATRICK QUEEN NEWS

Logs seven stops vs. Baltimore Queen registered seven tackles (five solo) during the Steelers' 27-22 win over the Ravens on Sunday.

Impact Queen was cleared to play after working through a glute injury during Week 14 prep. The injury didn't appear to bother him Sunday, as he played 74 of 80 defensive snaps (92.5 percent) and finished tied with Alex Highsmith for the second-most tackles on the Steelers behind Cole Holcomb (nine). Queen is up to 96 combined tackles through 13 regular-season games and should crack the 100-plus tackle mark for the fifth time in his NFL career (and for the fourth consecutive season). His next opportunity to reach that milestone is this Sunday against the Dolphins.

Healthy for Sunday Queen (glute) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Ravens, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Queen managed to log consecutive limited practices Thursday and Friday, and performed sufficiently enough to clear his injury designation ahead of Sunday's game. The starting inside linebacker will be ready to suit up against his former team, the Ravens, in a key battle for the AFC North division.

Upgrades to limited Thursday Queen (glute) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Queen's upgrade to limited participation after being unable to practice Wednesday is a good sign for the linebacker's ability to play Sunday against the Ravens. If the veteran is unable to suit up against his former team, Carson Bruener and Malik Harrison will likely take more defensive snaps at linebacker in Sunday's contest.

Misses practice Wednesday Queen (glute) did not practice Wednesday, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Queen was injured in last Sunday's loss to the Bills and was unable to return to the game. His injury was initially reported as a lower-back bruise, but it's actually Queen's glute. If Queen is unable to play Sunday against the Ravens, Carson Bruener and Malik Harrison would likely be next up for snaps at linebacker.

Dealing with lower-back bruise Queen is believed to have suffered a lower-back bruise in Sunday's 26-7 loss to the Bills, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact Queen's injury was initially considered a hip issue, but it's now been clarified to be a lower-back injury. The 26-year-old is set to undergo more testing, though the team is hopeful that it's not a long-term concern. Queen's practice participation throughout the week will likely provide the best indication of whether he can suit up for the Week 14 matchup against the Ravens.

Won't return vs. Buffalo Queen (hip) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Bills, Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com reports.

Impact Queen injured his hip late in the second quarter, and after being evaluated by medical staff in the locker room, it's been determined that the injury is severe enough for the veteran linebacker to be sidelined the rest of the way. Carson Bruener and Malik Harrison should see more defensive snaps in the second half due to Queen's injury.

Exits with hip injury Queen (hip) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Bills, Brian Batko of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Impact Queen exited late in the second quarter after sustaining a hip injury trying to tackle Bills quarterback Josh Allen on a key third down. The linebacker was reportedly limping to the locker room as he took off his gloves. Carson Bruener and Malik Harrison will likely be called upon more if Queen is unable to return.

Impact Queen was one of the team's few bright spots in the loss, as his 12 tackles not only led the team but served as a new season-high total for the 26-year-old.
