Steelers Inactives List for Week 10 Game vs. Commanders
The Pittsburgh Steelers bye Week couldn't have come at a better time. While the roster has mostly avoided major injuries to star players, some key pieces on both sides of the ball were dealing with some pesky setbacks.
With the off week behind them, the Steelers get a host of players back off the inactive list. Fans will be happy to see the likes of Zach Frazier and Cordarrelle Patterson back in the lineup.
On the opposite sideline, the Washington Commanders have surged as one of the league's biggest surprise contenders. Still, a few key players will not suit up in this fun intra-conference matchup.

Offensive Impacts
The Steelers get Zach Frazier and Cordarrelle Patterson back into the offensive lineup, which will be a significant upgrade in all aspects. Frazier has proven himself as an impact player up front and Patterson helps take some of the pressure off of Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren in the rushing game, which has been near elite since Russell Wilson tok over at quarterback.
Miller is a healthy scratch as Mike Williams makes his Pittsburgh debut.
Defensive Impacts
Nick Herbig remains on the shelf for one more week. He was limited most of the week, but a DNP set him back from returning to the lineup. Luckily, the Steelers traded for Packers edge rusher Preston Smith, who figures to rotate in this week.

What to Know
Washington will be without running back Brian Robinson will miss his second-straight contest as he deals with a hamstring injury. This is by far the most important injury between both teams. Robinson has had somewhat of a breakout season both statistically and as a leader in the Washington huddle.
Considering how the Steelers defense performed against the run in the weeks leading up to the off week, Pittsburgh has an oppurtunity to get right against a short-handed rushing attack.
