The NFL used to come to a near standstill whenever the Pittsburgh Steelers and New England Patriots met. Now, not so much. Thursday night’s meeting might merit a passing glance.

Running back Najee Harris missed a second straight day of practice with a knee injury.

The NFL used to come to a near standstill whenever the Pittsburgh Steelers and New England Patriots met. The Patriots (2-10) are simply looking for something — anything — to build on amid a five-game losing streak that has a team that used to pick last in each round of the draft nearly every year at the height of the Tom Brady era to somehow perhaps pick first. The Steelers (7-5) are better off in the standings but can't seem to get off the treadmill of mediocrity.

Mike Tomlin laughed. Asked if he could describe a bafflingly flat 24-10 loss to Arizona on Sunday in one word, the longtime Pittsburgh Steelers coach smiled, let out a somewhat sarcastic chuckle, and cautioned that he needed to watch what he said before settling on “subpar.” The NFL regular season is a grind both physically and mentally, particularly for a team such as the Steelers that engages in rock fights weekly.

The Pittsburgh Steelers signed the veteran inside linebacker to the practice squad on Monday, three months after Jack stepped away from the game in the middle of training camp with the Philadelphia Eagles. Elandon Roberts played every defensive snap in a 13-10 loss to Cleveland on Sunday, with Mykal Walker — signed to the practice squad in late October before being promoted to the active roster last week — taking the majority of the snaps at the other inside linebacker spot.

The Minnesota Vikings, Philadelphia Eagles and Carolina Panthers made high-risk, high-reward free agency moves with training camp already underway.
