Steelers' Sammie Coates has broken index finger

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Sammie Coates (hand, questionable) is dealing with a broken index finger in addition to the laceration on his left hand.

What It Means:

The good news is Coates was catching passes in Friday's practice. However, this new revelation could have his Week 6 status in jeopardy. Check back Sunday morning to see if he is active or if the Steelers play it safe and sit their young pass catcher.

If Coates is active, our algorithms project him for three catches for 42 yards and 0.34 touchdowns in Week 6 against Miami.
