Being absent from a report is not confirmation that a player is healthy; teams report only what league rules require.

Injury history
No Steelers running back appeared on the team's Week 8 injury report published Oct. 30, and he carried a heavy workload into the bye, so no current 2026 absence is reported; missing injury data does not establish health. The index reflects earlier in-season issues, not any present designation.
