The Steelers wrapped up their preparation for Sunday's AFC North matchup against the Baltimore Ravens at M&T Bank Stadium.

The Steelers will be without several players, including safety Kyle Dugger, who has been ruled out with hand injury.

Despite not practicing at the beginning of the week, quarterback Aaron Rodgers was a full participant the last two days and isn't on the status report for the second consecutive week.

Rodgers started against the Buffalo Bills last week, and he is still dealing with a broken bone in his left wrist.

Offensive coordinator Arthur Smith was asked if Rodgers not being able to go under center a week ago hurt them.

"Look, you just have contingency plans," said Smith. "If a guy is playing, you've got to adapt. Certainly, see how it goes this week, next week, just the evolution, make sure we're putting him in the best position and protecting him.

"But again, I go back to the job of problem solving and adapting. Got to look at it, you know, something we tried last week. There are things we can do better in that formation stuff. We'll see."

Andrus Peat will start for the second straight week at left tackle, moving into the spot that was held by Broderick Jones before he landed on the Reserve/Injured List ahead of the Bills game. In addition to missing Jones, tackle Calvin Anderson has also been ruled out with a knee injury.

Peat, who signed with the Steelers during training camp, said he is always prepared for whatever comes his way.

"I always try to stay ready for any situation, but it's a great opportunity and I'm excited for it," said Peat. "It's been great. I've definitely enjoyed my time here. It's a great locker room and great coaching staff."

This stretch is the first time Peat has started at left tackle since 2023 with the New Orleans Saints, but he has settled right in.

"It takes a little to get adjusted, but I mean it's definitely coming back to me," said Peat. "Felt a little rusty but as the game went on I started to settle in."

Rookie defensive lineman Derrick Harmon has been ruled out for the second straight game with a knee injury. His absence will be felt going against a team like the Ravens with running back Derrick Henry and quarterback Lamar Jackson.

"We will just try to make sure that we set hard edges, knock people back, we get off the ball, we're good in tackling and good with our eyes," said defensive coordinator Teryl Austin. "There is a litany of things that you have to do to play solid team defense.

"It's not one person or one area that determines whether you have a great run defense. It's team defense. So, we have to be really good and on our screws that way if we want to have success.

"The week before, we went up against the No. 2 rushing team, and we did a good job. We didn't have success this past week, and so we get another opportunity at it. That's the great thing about the NFL. You have opportunities each week to go back. You can wipe the slate clean, and you can get up off the mat if you get knocked down and you have a chance to get back in the ring and win, and so that's what we're going to do. We're going to try to do that."

Cornerback Donte Kent returned to practice on Dec. 3, but he sustained a new injury that will cause him to miss the remainder of the 2025 season. The Steelers drafted Kent in the seventh round of the 2025 NFL Draft, the 229th overall selection. Kent appeared in 53 games for Central Michigan, starting 48, and finished with 235 career tackles, 171 of them solo stops. He had 47 passes defensed, two interceptions, two forced fumbles, a fumble recovery, four and a half tackles for a loss, and one and a half sacks.
