Participates in OTAs
McCormick (hand) was an active participant during Pittsburgh's OTAs on Tuesday. McCormick sat out the team's wild-card loss versus the Ravens last season with a broken hand but is now healthy again. He should be in line to serve as the Steelers' starting right guard once again during the upcoming campaign.
Won't play against Baltimore
McCormick (hand) is inactive for Saturday's AFC wild-card game against the Ravens, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports. McCormick broke his left hand during the Steelers' Week 18 loss to the Bengals. He was limited in practice all week, but the injury is too severe for him to play Saturday. Spencer Anderson is the top candidate to start at right guard due to McCormick's injury.
Questionable for wild-card matchup
McCormick (hand) is questionable for Saturday's wild-card game against the Ravens, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports. McCormick suffered a hand injury in the team's regular-season finale against the Bengals, logging three limited practices with the Steelers this week. If he is ultimately ruled out, Spencer Anderson would likely draw the start at right guard against Baltimore.
Working to play Saturday
McCormick (hand) said Tuesday his fracture is feeling better and that his status for Saturday's wild-card playoff matchup against the Ravens will come down to how much he's able to do in practice, Ray Fittipaldo of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports. McCormick's practice activity, or lack thereof, will likely determine whether he's able to play with a brace on his broken left hand during Saturday's playoff contest. In the event that McCormick were to miss any time, Spencer Anderson and Max Scharping would be candidates to fill in at guard.
Injures hand versus Cincinnati
McCormick suffered a hand injury in Saturday night's loss to the Bengals, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports. McCormick started the Steelers' final 13 contests at right guard, but the severity of his hand injury isn't yet known, leaving his status for next weekend's playoff opener in question. Spencer Anderson and Max Scharping are next in line for snaps at guard if McCormick's injury proves serious.
