Seumalo (pectoral) has a chance to play Sunday against the Cowboys, Ray Fittipaldo of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
ANALYSIS
Seumalo has yet to play this season after being injured during practice leading up to the Steelers' season opener. His return would certainly be a boost to the offensive line after they lost starting right guard, James Daniels to a torn Achilles in Week 4.

ANALYSIS
Initial tests ruled out a season-ending injury for Seumalo, but the Steelers are still determining how much time the 2016 third-round pick could miss.

Status up in the air for Week 15
Seumalo (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game versus Indianapolis, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

Sep 28, 2021

ANALYSIS

Officially activated from IR
Seumalo (knee) was activated from injured reserve Friday, Martin Frank of The Delaware News Journal reports.
ANALYSIS
Philadephia still has to contend with Brandon Brooks (Achilles) being on the reserve/PUP list and Andre Dillard on IR, but the Eagles have integrated yet another piece back into the starting offensive line given Seumalo's activation. The 27-year-old is slated to make his first start since Week 2, shoring up Carson Wentz's blindside alongside left tackle Jason Peters heading into a Sunday matchup against the Browns.
Nov 20, 2020
Expected to start Week 11
Coach Doug Pederson said Friday that he expects Seumalo (knee) to come off IR and start Sunday's game against the Browns, Reuben Frank of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
ANALYSIS

Nov 9, 2020
Back at practice
Seumalo (knee) was designated to return from injured reserve Monday, indicating his 21-day practice window has begun, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
ANALYSIS
Seumalo will be evaluated through the practice week and could return for the Week 10 matchup against the Giants. The 2016 third-round pick started at left guard through the first two games of the year, and he'd be a major boost for an offensive line that has been decimated by injuries this season.
Sep 23, 2020
No timetable for return
Coach Doug Pederson said Wednesday that Seumalo (knee) is "out for the foreseable future," Les Bowen of the Philadelphia Daily News reports.
ANALYSIS
Seumalo looks like he could spend more than the requisite minimum three weeks on injured reserve, though Pederson also previously expressed optimism that his knee issue wouldn't be long-term. In the meantime, Matt Pryor appears to be the likeliest candidate to start at left guard versus the Bengals on Sunday.
Sep 22, 2020
Placed on IR
Seumalo (knee) has been placed on the reserve/injured list, Les Bowen of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
ANALYSIS
Head coach Doug Pederson believes it will be a short stint on IR for the Eagles starting center, although the move means he will have to miss three weeks minimum. Seumalo hasn't missed a start since the 2018 season but now Philly will have to rely on Matt Pryor for the immediate future.
Sep 20, 2020
Sustains knee injury
Seumalo (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's matchup against the Rams, Zach Berman of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Injuries woes continue to present themselves along Philadelphia's offensive line, as the unit is already dealing with potential season-ending injuries to Brandon Brooks (Achilles) and Andre Dillard (bicep). Seumalo played all 68 of the Eagles' offensive snaps in Week 1, but if he cannot return against Los Angeles it is expected that Matt Pryor or Nate Herbig will garner snaps at left guard.
