ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- The Steelers' secondary is pretty beat up, but it looks like they aren't in as much trouble as they were earlier in the week.
Most notably, Minkah Fitzpatrick (knee) followed up two days of limited practice with a full day of participation Friday at the UPMC Rooney Sports Complex. He has no injury designation for Sunday's matchup with the Bills, which gives him a full-go to play.
Levi Wallace (foot), Cam Heyward (elbow/ankle), Chris Wormley (ankle), Diontae Johnson (hip) and Mason Cole (foot) were also full participants in practice and have no injury designation ahead of Sunday's game.
Cam Sutton (groin/hamstring) was limited in practice Friday and is considered questionable. Sutton has been limited all week, but he told reporters after Friday's practice that he expects to play Sunday.
Terrell Edmunds (concussion protocol) was initially listed as questionable in Friday's injury report, but he was downgraded to out Saturday afternoon. Edmunds did not practice Wednesday, but was a limited participant both Thursday and Friday.
For the second straight week Ahkello Witherspoon missed an entire week of practice with a hamstring injury suffered in the Week 3 loss to the Browns. He is ruled out against the Bills.
The Bills are also dealing with their fair share of injuries, and head coach Sean McDermott ruled out five players prior to Friday's practice: Star safety Jordan Poyer, tight end Dawson Knox, wide receivers Jake Kumerow and Jamison Crowder, and cornerback Christian Benford.
After not practicing Wednesday or Thursday, this will be the second game this year Poyer has missed, this time dealing with a rib injury suffered in the Bills' Week 4 win over Baltimore. Poyer missed Week 3 against Miami with a foot injury, but returned last week and had two interceptions. He was subsequently named AFC Defensive Player of the Week.
Knox has battled various injuries throughout the season, but this will be his first game missed. Knox has also not practiced this week due to foot and hamstring injuries.
Kumerow (ankle), Crowder (ankle) and Benford (hand) were expected to be ruled out from the beginning of the week.
