Tyson Alualu (Knee) Probable

Alualu did not practice on Wednesday but I think he will go Sunday against the Texans. He has played well at nose tackle since being moved there in place of Javon Hargrave. He has also done well as a role player for the Steelers.

Ben Roethlisberger (Veteran’s Day Off) Probable

Roethlisberger is given a lot of days off with his age. He is usually ready on Sunday and hopefully, the day off can keep his body rested for the game. I have no problem with him taking the first practice of the week off as long as he is watching plenty of film during the week.

Maurkice Pouncey (Veteran’s Day Off) Probable

Pouncey was given the day off on Wednesday and that would probably help him at his age. Pouncey also plays a very physically demanding position and so letting his body recover will help him get through seasons.
