The Pittsburgh Steelers head back home to take on the Baltimore Ravens, but could be without this group of players in Week 4.
Here are the Steelers Projected Inactives for Sunday Nights game against the Baltimore Ravens.
Morgan Burnett: Is listed as doubtful and has been as advertised: good on the field, but injury prone. He has a groin injury. The good news is that he did practice on a limited basis on Thursday. The hope is that he didn’t re-injure himself that day. Terrell Edmunds will get the start in his place.
Mike Hilton: Is listed as doubtful and that is a sign he will not play Sunday night. He hyperextended his elbow and so that should keep him out. Cameron Sutton will probably start in the slot and you can expect Sensabaugh and Burns to be rotating on the outside.
Mason Rudolph: The Steelers are healthy at quarterback and so you have to think that Mason Rudolph will not be dressing this week. I hope he is developing on the scout team.
Zach Banner: The Steelers are healthy on the offensive line as they will get David Decastro back as well as Marcus Gilbert. Hopefully, the offensive line can stay healthy going forward. Banner will be out as he is still a developmental prospect at this point.
Matt Feiler: Although he started and did well enough last week, I think he will be down this week because the Steelers will want a swing tackle who is capable of playing on the left side. I could see this inactive being Chukswoma Okorafor as well.
LT Walton: Walton is now the fourth defensive end and the sixth defensive lineman on the roster. He will probably be inactive this week as he has been in previous weeks.
Marcus Allen: The Steelers haven’t dressed Allen and that is probably because he is not ready to play safety and doesn’t play much special teams.
Playing this week:
Maurkice Pouncey, Ramon Foster, and Ben Roethlisberger were all on the injury report and that is because they are veteran players who Tomlin wants to preserve at this point in their careers.
Juju Smith-Schuster had an abdomen injury that kept him out earlier in the week but he seems good to go after practicing on Friday.
