Calvin Austin III practiced fully for the first time since Week 4, raising hopes he’ll play vs. Packers.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Calvin Austin III practiced fully for the first time since Week 4, raising hopes he’ll play Sunday against the Green Bay Packers. The fourth-round pick, sidelined by a shoulder injury, expressed readiness but awaits final clearance from coach Mike Tomlin. His return could bolster a struggling passing game, as the Steelers have relied heavily on DK Metcalf and tight ends in his absence. Quarterback Will Howard returned to full practice and has a 21-day window to be activated. Safety Miles Killebrew underwent successful knee surgery and will miss the rest of the season. Veteran players T.J. Watt and Cameron Heyward are resting under a management plan. The Packers’ Aaron Banks is listed as limited with a groin issue.
