Good to go against Baltimore Echols (groin) does not have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Ravens, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Echols was unable to play against the Browns in Week 17 due to a groin injury, but the fifth-year pro has been cleared to play in Sunday's regular-season finale after logging a full practice Friday. Echols has started in three of 15 regular-season games while also contributing on special teams and has accumulated 48 tackles (34 solo), including 1.0 sacks, six pass defenses (two interceptions), one forced fumble and one fumble recovery in 2025.

Limited to begin Week 18 prep Echols (groin) practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

Impact Echols hurt his groin Week 16 against Detroit and missed this past Sunday's loss to Cleveland because of the issue. With a limited practice under his belt to begin this week, the veteran cornerback appears to have a chance of returning to action for Sunday's matchup versus Baltimore, which will determine the winner of the AFC North. With that said, Echols' playing time had been slipping even before the injury, and he hasn't reached a 50 percent defensive snap share since Week 12.

Ruled out for Sunday Echols (groin) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Browns, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

Impact Echols exited the first half of last Sunday's win over the Lions and was unable to return to the contest. The slot cornerback's groin injury proved to be too much for him to practice with this week. Jalen Ramsey moved to the slot last Sunday when Echols exited and will likely start there again for this Sunday's divisional tilt, leaving Jabrill Peppers to fill Ramsey's place at free safety.

Doubtful to return Echols (groin) is doubtful to return to Sunday's matchup against the Lions, Burt Lauten of Pittsburgh's official site reports.

Impact Echols is likely done for the day after having sustained a groin injury in the first half. Asante Samuel should see increased playing time if Echols is unable to return versus Detroit.

Echols has accumulated 24 tackles (16 solo), two pass defenses, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery in six games since the Steelers' Week 5 bye.
