The Steelers received some positive news on Friday, as OLB Nick Herbig returned to practice after missing time with a hamstring injury.

The Pittsburgh Steelers will start former undrafted free agent Dylan Cook at left tackle again in Week 16 versus the Detroit Lions.

When the Steelers improved to 9-6 after an equal parts thrilling and bizarre 29-24 victory over the Lions, they assured themselves of an NFL record 22nd straight season at .500 or better, breaking the mark of 21 they shared with the Dallas Cowboys, who pulled off the feat from 1965-85.

Zac Taylor is expected to return as the Bengals’ head coach, according to a report. Browns rookie Quinshon Judkins suffers a season-ending ankle injury.

Gardner Minshew may have also torn his ACL during the team’s 26-9 loss to the Tennessee Titans on Sunday. The injury would leave third-stringer Chris Oladokun as the team’s starter in Week 17 barring a free-agent move. That’s a far cry from where the Chiefs hoped to be in Week 17 entering the season.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have received a bad update about star pass rusher TJ Watt before facing the Detroit Lions.
