If Lamar is close to 80% or even, this is a boon. The Steelers will look to crowd the box and sell out to stop Derrick Henry.
Lamar gives Baltimore the threat of the deep ball, which should keep Pittsburgh's defense honest.
Even though things are looking up for Lamar to play Sunday night, we will have to wait until it's confirmed later this week.
In other news, Rashod Bateman, DeAndre Hopkins, and Kyle Van Noy didn't practice.
