Ben Roethlisberger - Full-go Thursday Roethlisberger (pectoral/hip) returned to a full practice Thursday.
Impact Roethlisberger was a limited practice participant Wednesday, as he continues to manage pectoral and hip issues, but Thursday's full session puts the 39-year-old signal-caller on track to face the 4-3 Browns in an NFC North showdown on Sunday. Six games into his 2021 campaign, Roethlisberger has thrown seven touchdown passes versus four picks, while averaging 252.5 passing yards, en route to having logged just one 300-plus yard effort.

Chase Claypool - Returns to full session Claypool (hamstring) returned to a full practice Thursday.
Impact The wideout logged a limited session Wednesday, but Claypool's return to a full practice Thursday sets the stage for him to catch passes from QB Ben Roethlisberger on Sunday against the 4-3 Browns. Following the Steelers' bye week, Claypool will look to rebound from the 2-17-0 stat line (on seven targets) he recorded in the team's Week 6 win over the Seahawks. With JuJu Smith-Schuster (shoulder) out for the season, Claypool is entrenched in a starting role opposite Diontae Johnson that will yield him steady playing time and targets as long as he stays healthy.

Eric Ebron - Limited participant Thursday Ebron was a limited participant at Thursday's practice due to a hamstring injury, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Ebron fully participated in Wednesday's practice but apparently sustained a hamstring injury Thursday. If he's unable to suit up Sunday against the Browns, Pat Freiermuth should handle an increased target share, while Zach Gentry would likely see additional playing time.
