Steelers' James Pierre: Will play Week 18
Pierre (calf) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Ravens, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.
Pierre has been officially cleared to return from a three-game absence due to a calf injury, and he'll likely start at outside corner opposite Joey Porter on Sunday while Asante Samuel reverts to a depth role in the secondary. Across the 13 regular-season games prior to his calf injury, Pierre logged 28 tackles (12 solo), 11 pass defenses (one interception) and a scoop-and-score.

Steelers' James Pierre: Doesn't practice Thursday
Pierre (calf) did not participate in Thursday's practice, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.
Pierre was able to log a limited practice Wednesday but sat out of Thursday's session while managing a lingering calf injury that has caused him to miss the Steelers' last three games. His participation in Friday's practice will shed light on his chances of playing in Sunday's pivotal AFC North tilt against the Ravens. Asante Samuel would continue to start at outside cornerback opposite Joey Porter if Pierre is unable to play Week 18.

Steelers' James Pierre: Practices in limited fashion Wed.
Pierre (calf) logged a limited practice Wednesday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.
Pierre has missed Pittsburgh's past three games due to a calf issue. There could be some urgency to get him back, as the Steelers' bid for a playoff spot is on the line Sunday versus Baltimore. Asante Samuel Jr. has been starting at cornerback while Pierre has been out and would likely do so again if the latter remains sidelined Week 18.

Steelers' James Pierre: Ruled out once again
Pierre (calf) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Browns, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.
Pierre will miss his third consecutive game due to injury. The cornerback managed to log consecutive limited practices to start the week before downgrading to non-participation in Friday's session, sealing his fate for Sunday's divisional contest. Asante Samuel will likely continue to start at outside corner in Pierre's absence.

Steelers' James Pierre: Won't play Week 16
Pierre (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Lions, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.
Pierre will end up missing a second straight game due to a calf injury that he likely picked up during the Steelers' Week 14 win over the Ravens. Asante Samuel -- who intercepted Tua Tagovailoa during Pittsburgh's Week 15 victory over Miami -- will likely start at outside corner opposite Joey Porter on Sunday in Pierre's absence.

Steelers' James Pierre: Will sit out Week 15
Pierre (calf) has been ruled out for Monday's matchup against the Dolphins.
Pierre sat out all three of Pittsburgh's practices this week due to a calf injury. As such, he's going to miss his first game of the season. Asante Samuel will likely start at cornerback in Pierre's stead against Miami.

Steelers' James Pierre: Sits out Thursday's practice
Pierre (calf) did not practice Thursday, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.
Pierre played 86 percent of defensive snaps during Pittsburgh's win over the Ravens in Week 14 in which he tallied five tackles (three solo) and two passes defensed (one interception), but it appears he picked up a calf injury in the process. The starting cornerback will have two more chances to get back on the practice field ahead of Monday's matchup against the Dolphins.

Steelers' James Pierre: Registers INT in win
Pierre posted five tackles (three solo), two pass breakups and an interception in Sunday's 27-22 win over the Ravens.
Pierre suffered a concussion in last week's game against the Bills, but he cleared the league's protocol and returned to the field to notch his first interception of the season. The veteran cornerback took over the starting job after the Steelers cut Darius Slay, and he has a good chance to stay in that role moving forward after Asante Samuel played just one defensive snap in this game.

Steelers' James Pierre: Clears concussion protocol
Pierre (concussion) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Ravens, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.
Pierre exited the Steelers' 26-7 loss to the Bills early last Sunday with a concussion. The outside cornerback's ability to practice in full Thursday and Friday enabled him to clear the league's concussion protocol. The 29-year-old is set to start Sunday's game alongside Joey Porter.

Steelers' James Pierre: Looks to clear concussion protocol
Pierre (concussion) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.
Pierre remains in the league's concussion protocol, but his upgrade to a full practice Thursday is another step in the right direction toward eventually being cleared. The cornerback exited last Sunday's loss to the Bills due to the injury, with newly signed Asante Samuel replacing him. The starting outside cornerback might find himself opposite Samuel for Sunday's matchup with the Ravens if Joey Porter (elbow) is unable to suit up.

Steelers' James Pierre: Practicing in limited fashion
Pierre (concussion) was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice.
Pierre suffered a concussion during this past Sunday's loss to the Bills. It's encouraging that he's already back on the practice field, but he'll still need to clear the league's concussion protocol before he can potentially play in Sunday's game versus the Ravens. The Steelers just waived Darius Slay and signed Asante Samuel to the active roster to take his place, so Samuel is expected to start if Pierre can't go. There's a chance Samuel takes over the starting role altogether at some point down the stretch, too.

Steelers' James Pierre: Enters concussion protocol
Pierre is in concussion protocol and will be limited in practice to start the week, Missi Matthews of the Steelers' official site reports.
Pierre appears to have suffered a concussion in Sunday's 26-7 loss to the Bills, and he will have to clear the league's concussion protocol to be available for the team's divisional showdown with the Ravens in Week 14. After Pierre's early exit Sunday, Asante Samuel made his Steelers debut and played 28 defensive snaps to finish out the game. The newly signed corner will likely start for the Steelers on Sunday if Pierre has not cleared concussion protocol.

Steelers' James Pierre: Exits game Sunday
Pierre (head) is questionable to return to Pittsburgh's matchup versus Buffalo on Sunday, Burt Lauten of the team's official site reports.
Pierre is currently being evaluated for a concussion after exiting the game in the second half. If the 29-year-old ends up being unable to return, Asante Samuel should step in as one of the team's top cornerbacks.
