Steelers defensive Aaron Smith (torn triceps) did not play against the Ravens and he is not expected to play against the Jets, even though he was listed only as doubtful Friday on the injury report.

Outside linebacker James Harrison, who had three sacks for the first time in his postseason career, injured his right shoulder on the final sack when he dived to knock Flacco out of bounds.

Harrison returned to finish the game and Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said he would be in some discomfort this week, but Harrison is expected to play against the Jets.

The news might not be as good for backup safety Will Allen, who injured his knee in the second half and did not return. Allen is one of the team's top special-teams players and said he might not be able to play against the Jets.

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
