It is looking increasingly likely that the Pittsburgh Steelers will be somewhat short-handed along the offensive line once again in Week 10 after Marcus Gilbert was held out of another day of practice on Tuesday. Troubled by a knee injury since returning from the bye-week James Conner Jersey White , it should be expected that the starting right tackle will miss his third consecutive game and fourth of the season on Thursday, barring something of a miracle.Gilbert was joined on the sidelines by Daniel McCullers for the Steelers only real practice session of the week ahead of their game against the Carolina Panthers and his availability for Thursday is also in doubt. If he is unable to play, it should be expected that L.T. Walton would get a rare opportunity to dress in his absence, while Matt Feiler would start in place in of Gilbert again. Even though practice time is scarce this week, it is no surprise to see Ben Roethlisberger was still given a veteran rest day on Tuesday, especially considering the fracture finger on his left hand. Antonio Brown’s limited participation was merely a consequence of an attempt to protect a veteran player facing a short week and thankfully not an indication of his impending availability for Week 10. The same cannot be said for Ryan Switzer, however Womens Jerome Bettis Jersey , and his limited participation may be an issue if he cannot talk part in the walkthrough on Wednesday. Despite concerns about a knee injury, James Washington was still a full participant at practice and his chances of playing against Carolina look good. The Steelers are not the only ones struggling to get their full roster ready with such limited time prepare and the Panthers have a number of injury concerns of their own to worry about heading into the game. PITTSBURGH (AP) — Ben Roethlisberger called the interception that ended Pittsburgh’s six-game winning streak fluky.On the surface, the Steelers quarterback is right.The only reason Denver defensive lineman Shelby Harris found himself in position to make a leaping grab of Roethlisberger’s pass intended for Antonio Brown was because Harris was mashed off the line of scrimmage by Pittsburgh center Maurkice Pouncey. Yet that didn’t stop Harris from improvising and getting his hands on the ball.“I just never would have thought that guy would make that play,” Roethlisberger said.That kind of play seems to pop up with regularity when things go awry for the AFC North leaders.The Steelers (7-3-1) have turned the ball over 19 times through 11 games, including four in Sunday’s baffling 24-17 loss to the Broncos. Roethlisberger threw a pair of picks, James Conner fumbled deep in Denver territory and tight end Xavier Grimble saw a sure touchdown vanish when he tried to run over Broncos safety Will Parks at the goal line. The ball squirted loose just before crossing the plane and six points vanished.“We didn’t do a good job of taking care of the ball and we also didn’t do a good job of getting the football,” Pittsburgh coach Mike Tomlin said.That may be an even bigger issue for the Steelers. Pittsburgh has 12 takeaways and has only created multiple turnovers in the same game twice Jerome Bettis Jersey , the main reason why its minus-7 turnover differential is 26th in the league. The Steelers had a chance to make a play immediately after Grimble’s fumble when Cam Heyward tipped Case Keenum’s pass high into the air. It fell harmlessly to the ground surrounded by a handful of Heyward’s teammates.“We have to be more opportunistic,” Heyward said. “We have to keep preaching it, and maybe we have to spend some time with JUGS machine, all of us, just to make sure we are all aware of the significance of when (the quarterback) throws the ball. We got to be the aggressors instead of just letting it hit the ground.”Getting pressure is not a problem. Pittsburgh sacked Keenum twice and he completed just 15 of 28 passes. Yet the Steelers couldn’t rattle him enough to make a major mistake. Nor could they get their hands on Denver running back Phillip Lindsay, who ran for 110 yards and a touchdown.“There were some opportunities for us to get the ball and we just didn’t seize the moment,” Heyward said.It added up to a momentum-sapping loss a week after stealing a victory in Jacksonville. Pittsburgh shut down the Jaguars over the final 20 minutes to roar back from a 16-point deficit.otal yards James Conner Jersey , they also allowed the Broncos to go 79 yards for the go-ahead score after Conner’s fourth fumble of the season late in the third quarter.The drive relied heavily on Lindsay, an undrafted rookie free agent who became the first back in over a year to top 100 yards rushing against Pittsburgh. Lindsay ran effectively enough that Pittsburgh couldn’t take aim at Keenum.“We feel like if we slow their run game down, that will give us a chance to ball search and force the quarterback to throw the ball and give us an opportunity to make plays,” Hilton said. “So we just have to slow it down and try to make plays on the ball.”That might not be easy this week against the Chargers (8-3). Los Angeles quarterback Philip Rivers tied an NFL record by completing 25 straight passes in a blowout win over Arizona on Sunday.“He’s one of the top guys in the league and he’s got weapons on the outside making plays for them,” Hilton said. “Their running game is one of the better ones in the league, so it’s going to be a tough opponent. So we will have to be prepared.”NOTES: OLB T.J. Watt said he was “fine” a day after exiting briefly with a wrist injury. … RT Matt Feiler called the decision to have him serve as a backup because he is dealing with a pectoral injury “precautionary.” Rookie Chukwuma Okorafor made his first start in Feiler’s place and held his own for the most part against Denver star linebacker Von Miller.
