Claypool (hamstring) returned to a limited practice Wednesday, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.
Claypool was unable to practice this past Friday before being ruled out ahead of Sunday's loss to the Packers, but his return to the field Wednesday has him trending in the right direction as the Steelers' Week 5 game against the Broncos approaches. Per Pryor, the wideout sounds hopeful to play this weekend, though he'll probably need to practice fully Thursday or Friday in order to avoid taking an injury designation into Sunday.
