New York Jets veteran cornerback Darrelle Revis and wide receiver Eric Decker remained spectators during Thursday's practice.

Revis has yet to practice this week after sustaining a mild hamstring strain during Sunday's 27-17 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. The timing of the injury doesn't bode well for the 31-year-old Revis and the visiting Jets (1-3), who face the high-octane Pittsburgh Steelers (3-1) on Sunday.

Should Revis sit out on Sunday, fellow cornerbacks Marcus Williams and Buster Skrine are expected to play on the outside while rookie Juston Burris would join the duo in the nickel package. Second-year cornerback Darryl Roberts likely would see additional time as well.

Decker could be in jeopardy of missing his second straight game with a partially torn rotator cuff.

Decker initially sustained a shoulder injury during a six-catch, 126-yard performance in a Week 2 victory over the Buffalo Bills.

The 29-year-old aggravated the ailment the following week in a 24-3 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. He was limited to just one reception in that contest.
