Steelers' DeShon Elliott: Cleared to play Thursday

Elliott (personal) won't have an injury designation for Thursday's game against the Bengals, Ray Fittipaldo of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Elliott had been listed as questionable due to a personal issue, but he joined the team in Cincinnati on Thursday and will play. The starting safety has 24 tackles (13 solo) and an interception across three appearances this season.
