The Steelers and Saints will meet Sunday in Paris, but their final preparations were altered by weather at Stade de France.
A scheduled walkthrough Friday was cancelled due to bad weather. The teams will now hold their final practice Saturday instead.
Linebacker T.J. Watt appeared on the injury report Thursday with a calf issue and practiced on a limited basis. The team said Watt would have been a full participant Friday. Coach McCarthy said the injury "will not impact" Watt's availability, and Watt carries no injury designation into the game.
Safety DeShon Elliott, designated for return from injured reserve, remains questionable with a knee injury. The Steelers must activate Elliott by Saturday afternoon for him to play, though the club has open spots on its 53-man roster and will not need a corresponding move. Running back Rico Dowdle is also questionable with a knee injury.
Ben Skowronek (calf) and Brandin Echols (hamstring) were ruled out before the France trip.
