Steelers who could be missing in game versus Colts
By Edward Hunt
The Steelers have a few injuries heading into Sunday but it seems like the active roster is fairly healthy. Here is who will be the seven gameday inactives for the Colts game.
The Steelers take on the Colts on Sunday after a short week and will need all hands on deck to get the win. There are obviously some key players on injured reserve like Ben Roethlisberger and Stephon Tuitt.
James Conner suffered an injury late in the fourth quarter of the Dolphins game, and Ramon Foster won’t be suiting up this week. Here is a look at who could be inactive in week 9 against the Indianapolis Colts:
Ramon Foster: Out
Ramon Foster had a concussion this week and is already ruled out for Sunday’s game. He got the concussion on Monday Night against the Dolphins. He has been a consistent player over the years for the Steelers, but I think this year he is starting to age.
B.J. Finney will get the start at left guard and that is a position he is familiar with. He is a player that will eventually start for the Steelers if he stays with the team long enough for either Foster or Pouncey to retire.
Benny Snell Jr.: Out
Benny Snell had surgery to repair his meniscus in his knee. He will be out for two to three weeks. It is no surprise that he was ruled out for the game against the Colts. He is a player that could be a contributor down the stretch. He is important depth at a position that needs depth because running backs are often injured and have a lot of wear and tear.
One of Tony Brooks-James or Darin Hall might get promoted from the practice squad with so many injuries at running back. Trey Edmunds is expected to be second in line for running back touches behind Jaylen Samuels, who is expected to make his return.
