4 ruled out, 5 questionable for Steelers vs. Chargers Week 3 game image

The Pittsburgh Steelers and Los Angeles Chargers both have their fair share of injury concerns going into their Week 3 contest at Acrisure Stadium.

The Steelers have already ruled out three players in guard Isaac Seumalo, tight end MyCole Pruitt and offensive tackle Troy Fautanu, leaving them with one player questionable: quarterback Russell Wilson.

Wilson has missed each of the first two games of the season due to a calf injury he suffered prior to Week 1. Chances are we won't see Wilson in Week 3, either, and Justin Fields will get another start.

For the Chargers, all eyes are on quarterback Justin Herbert, who only managed to log one limited practice and sat out the final session on Friday. Los Angeles has just one player ruled out in linebacker Junior Colson, but four others are questionable.

Here's a look at the game statuses for both teams.
