DeCastro missed last week’s game against the New England Patriots with an ankle injury, but prior to that had been playing very well.
In addition to DeCastro looking healthy, tackleKelvin Beachum(knee) fully practiced on Friday so he looks to be ready to go for Sunday.
That’s the good news on the offensive line, but there could be some bad news as well.
Offensive tacklesMike Adams(ribs) andMarcus Gilbert(ankle) are both listed as questionable as neither could practice fully on Friday. If Gilbert can’t go, expectGuy Whimperto get the start against Buffalo.
In other Steelers injury news, two players who suffered concussions last week, cornerbackIke Taylorand linebackerVince Williams, both practiced on Friday as well and should be fine for Sunday.
Finally, tight endHeath Miller, centerFernando Velasco(thigh), wide receiverMarkus Wheaton(finger) and defensive end Cam Heyward (knee) are all listed as probable after fully participating in practice.
