The Steelers have added defensive lineman Yahya Black to their injury report ahead of the team’s Thursday Night Football matchup against the Cleveland Browns.

Black is listed as questionable with a non-injury-related/personal designation, the team’s report shows.

Black isn’t the only Steelers player to have an updated status ahead of the divisional game.

And although not currently reflected on the team’s publicly-posted report, Steelers Now’s Brendan Howe reported Thursday that Pittsburgh cornerback Brandin Echols has been upgraded to no injury designation ahead of the Browns game.

Echols was previously listed as questionable in concussion protocol.

Running back Rico Dowdle remains out for the Steelers, while veteran defensive back Jalen Ramsey is questionable with a broken wrist, according to Wednesday’s report. Star cornerback Joey Porter Jr. was already listed as out for Thursday’s game before being traded to the Dallas Cowboys late Wednesday night.

Both the Steelers and Browns are 2-1 and vying for the AFC North lead headed into Thursday’s game.
