The Pittsburgh Steelers announced a few injury updates on Saturday ahead of their game against the Cleveland Browns on Sunday in Week 17.

The updates offered one bit of good news, and one bit of bad news.

The Steelers announced that guard Isaac Seumalo, who is dealing with a triceps injury, has been downgraded to out for the contest against Cleveland.

Meanwhile, the good news is that defensive back Jalen Rams ey, who has been battling an illness this week, is off the injury report and is good to go.

Both players were initially given a questionable tag on Friday.

Seumalo turned in three limited practices during the week, while Ramsey didn't take part at all over the final two days after turning in a full session Wednesday.

Based on the Steelers' latest depth chart, we would expect to see Spencer Anderson step in for Seumalo. According to Pro Football Focus, Anderson has given up zero sacks and nine pressures and has posted a run-blocking grade of 57.5 in 303 snaps.

The Steelers may or may not have something to play for in Week 17. That will depend upon what happens with the Baltimore Ravens on Saturday.

If the Ravens lose to the Green Bay Packers on Saturday night, the Steelers clinch the AFC North. If Baltimore wins, Pittsburgh will need to win to wrap up the division this week.

If the Ravens win and the Steelers lose, the AFC North foes will battle it out in a winner-take-all showdown in Week 18.
