90 minutes prior to kickoff, the Steelers and Patriots inactives were announced. There weren’t many surprises as it seems to be the same group of guys as most weeks, other than those injured.
Steelers:
QB Landry Jones
WR Markus Wheaton
TE Richard Gordon
NT Hebron Fangupo
CB Curtis Brown
G: David DeCastro
LB: Kion Wilson
Patriots:
OL Chris Baker
DL Jake Bequette
WR Josh Boyce
WR Kendrell Thompkins
RB Leon Washington
CB Aqib Talib
LB Steve Beauharnais
Analysis:
There are really no surprises here since the only difference on this list from last week is that David DeCastro is inactive. As expected Guy Whimper will start in DeCastro’s place at RG. Mike Adams and Cody Wallace are the top back-ups at the tackle and guard positions.
The best news from this is that Ramon Foster did indeed pass his second round of testing that he took late in the week, which was the same test Jarvis Jones failed, making him inactive for the Ravens game in week 7.
