Pittsburgh Steelers: Projected inactives for Week 4
By Edward Hunt
The Pittsburgh Steelers will take on the Baltimore Ravens in Baltimore this Sunday and they look to have a complicated injury situation.
Five players are questionable and although any of whom I could see playing, it could go either way.
James Harrison looks like he will be inactive. It sounds like an illness has been going around the Steelers locker room as Martavis Bryant was sidelined earlier in the week with it. James Harrison sat out Friday with the illness so I am going to guess he won’t dress on Sunday.
Marcus Gilbert practiced fully on Wednesday but then went the wrong direction by practicing on a limited basis Thursday and Friday. My thinking is that he reinjured himself and thus won’t go this week. Chris Hubbard will start in his place and Matt Feiler will probably get a helmet.
Mike Mitchell has been a tough player, but you have to think he won’t play against the Ravens. The best he could do was limited participation Thursday and Friday.
Joshua Dobbs will probably be down this week as the Steelers usually only dress Ben and his backup.
Justin Hunter will probably be down again this week. He is a good receiver, but he does not play special teams. Word is that Antonio Brown will return punts and thus it is possible that Eli Rogers is the receiver that is inactive.
Jerald Hawkins will probably be a healthy scratch on Sunday. He would dress if Ramon Foster is down and the Steelers need a seventh lineman. Foster practiced fully on Friday and so I am gonna guess he will be able to go against the Ravens.

Dan McCullers– I thought that Sean Davis and Mike Mitchell would be down this week and would need to call up another safety. No move has been made and so I will have McCullers as the seventh inactive.
