Steelers holding final practice today before leaving for New York
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- The clock is ticking as Steeler Nation gets hyped for Sunday!
Final preps are underway before the team heads to Buffalo and Pittsburgh is ready for the big game.
The anticipation is building and the Steelers are set to have one final practice as they gear up for the Wild Card matchup against the Bills.
Practice on Thursday brought some good news to Steeler Nation.
For the first time since Week 15, Minkah Fitzpatrick was a full participant in practice.

Fitzpatrick will be playing alongside safety Damontae Kazee, who is returning from a three-game suspension.
Running back Najee Harris was also back on the field at practice on Thursday.
While the game might be Sunday afternoon, you don't have to wait that long to cheer on your team.
