Pierre (calf) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Ravens, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Pierre (calf) did not participate in Thursday's practice, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Pierre (calf) logged a limited practice Wednesday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

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.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Pierre (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Lions, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Pierre (calf) has been ruled out for Monday's matchup against the Dolphins.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Pierre (calf) did not practice Thursday, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Pierre posted five tackles (three solo), two pass breakups and an interception in Sunday's 27-22 win over the Ravens.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Pierre (concussion) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Ravens, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

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.
