Finney (back) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday, Dale Lolley of DKPittsburghSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Finney had been playing through a back injury for more than a month, but he apparently suffered a setback during Week 13 and was held out the following contest. The 30-year-old offensive lineman will miss at least three weeks after being placed on injured reserve, and Kendrick Green is expected to fill in at center during his absence.

Finney (back) will not play Thursday against the Vikings.

EDGE Analysis

Finney has been dealing with a back injury for more than a month now, but he was able to play through it. He appears to have aggravated it further Sunday against the Ravens when he left early and was unable to return. After not being able to log a practice all week, Finney will give way to Kendrick Green, who will likely draw the start at center.

Finney's back injury is being evaluated after the Steelers' 20-19 win over the Ravens, according to head coach Mike Tomlin, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Finney left early Sunday with the injury. He dealt with a back issue earlier this season, but it's not known whether this a continuation of the same or something new. The Steelers have a short week ahead as they travel to Minnesota to play Thursday, which may make it more difficult for Finney to recover in time. If he is unable to go, Kendrick Green will likely get the nod to start at center.

Finney (back) will not return Sunday against the Ravens, Ray Fittipaldo of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

Finney (abdomen) signed a one-year contract with the Steelers on Friday, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Finney spent most of the 2020 campaign dealing with an abdominal injury and was only able to suit up for one game with the Bengals. Previously a member of the Steelers' offensive line, Finney found success in both a center and right guard role, and will likely replace Maurkice Pouncey at center.

The Bengals released Finney (abdomen) on Friday, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

After appearing in just one game with the team during the 2020 season, Finney will leave Cincinnati and aim to earn a spot on an offensive line elsewhere. The team saves $3.3 million with his release.
