The Steelers began their preparation for Sunday's game against the Cincinnati Bengals at Acrisure Stadium.

Cornerback Darius Slay is in the concussion protocol after leaving Sunday night's game against the Los Angeles Chargers.

"Slay is in the concussion protocol and so we'll let the protocol determine his availability," said Coach Mike Tomlin.

Linebacker Cole Holcomb, who was honored on Tuesday with the Ed Block Courage Award, missed the last two games with an illness but appears to be on the road to recovery.

"Cole Holcomb is still working his way back to us," said Tomlin. "He'll be a limited participant to start the week and we will see where that participation goes in terms of the amount and the quality of it."

Another player who is working his way back is safety Jabrill Peppers.
