     on Wednesday Customized Pittsburgh Steelers Jerseys , with just one player listed as missing practice due to injury. However, that name was not one of the trio many might have expected to see, while two of the players carrying more notable injuries made surprise returns to training as full participants.Marcus Gilbert finds himself sidelined by a knee injury as the rest of his teammates prepare to face the Cleveland Browns and this is not the first time has missed practice time this season because of this issue. Despite having missed the game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 3 because of a hamstring injury, Gilbert has still managed to play each week even when bothered by this recurring issue and it can only be hoped that will be the case once again on Sunday.Although Maurkice Pouncey was the beneficiary of his customary veteran rest day, it appears Ben Roethlisberger was not and it will be interesting to note if he does not take one this week coming off the bye.The welcome return of Morgan Burnett and L.J. Fort as full participants was rather unexpected and their progress will be something to follow as they get closer to game day. If they can repeat the feet on Thursday and Friday, their chances of playing on Sunday will be high.Darrius Heyward-Bey continues to struggle with an ankle problem and his status remains in doubt for Week 8 www.authenticspittsburghsteelers.com , as does that of Xavier Grimble who presumably picked up a concussion in training on Monday and will now be under the watchful eye of the medical staff. Other Steelers wide receivers have reached the 1,000-yard plateau in their seconds seasons.But none of them have done it at such a young age, or with quite the flourish that JuJu Smith-Schuster did.Smith-Schuster hit the milestone in Sunday’s loss to the Broncos, the same day he put a 97-yard touchdown on the board that tied a franchise record for longest pass play in franchise historyand now has 77 catches for 1 Pittsburgh Steelers Hoodie ,055 yards and four scores this year. It’s a rapid ascent, and he’s given the Steelers a reliable option opposite Brown in a season without Le'Veon Bell. And the best news for the Steelers, he’s a year away from a pay raise, as keeping multiple expensive targets at a time has been a problem for them in the past. Custom Pittsburgh Steelers Jerseys
