The Pittsburgh Steelers expect to have wide receiver Calvin Austin III back against the Green Bay Packers, according to a report by Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

Thursday Night Football in Week 7 features the Pittsburgh Steelers at the Cincinnati Bengals. Here are the best prop bets for the matchup.

PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Steelers have tweaked their offense over the weeks and in the last two weeks, it sure seems like they have found their identity. Dubbed the ‘jumbo package’ the Steelers have run 32 total plays out of the package, and run it more than anyone else in the NFL, with over 11 percent of their plays coming in that package.

The incoming Pittsburgh Steelers sit 5-1 and shouldn't have much issue handling a flailing opponent. The Bengals have allowed running backs to score six times in as many games, averaging a TD every 26.

The Bengals, who lost superstar QB Joe Burrow in Week 2 to a turf toe injury, have lost 4 in a row after opening the season 2-0. They lost 27-18 at the Green Bay Packers last week but covered as 15-point underdogs with the total (45) pushing. QB Joe Flacco made his first start for the Bengals, throwing for 219 yards with 2 TDs and no picks.

In danger of missing Week 7 vs. the Bengals while dealing with personal matters, Steelers S DeShon Elliott won't travel with Pittsburgh to Cincinnati.

Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins are two of the Bengals' best players. Getting them the ball against an AFC North rival is always challenging, but they may have a better shot at doing so with Steelers starting safety DeShon Elliott officially questionable for Thursday's game.

Rookie QB Dillon Gabriel delivered NSFW-worthy humor after taking 16 hits, including six sacks, in the Browns’ 23–9 loss to the Steelers.

The Steelers are 5.5-point favorites in the latest Steelers vs. Bengals odds, while the over/under for total points scored is 43.5. Before you make any Steelers vs. Bengals picks, make sure to check out the Thursday Night Football predictions from SportsLine NFL expert R.
