The Pittsburgh Steelers released their list of players who will be inactive for their Week 7 Thursday night game against the Cincinnati Bengals at Paycor Stadium. As expected, one Steeler will miss the Week 7 contest due to an injury.
After being ruled out for the Bengals game on the Wednesday injury report, WR Calvin Austin III (shoulder) is inactive on Thursday night. This is the second consecutive game this season that Austin has missed. He failed to practice these past two weeks after injuring his shoulder during the team’s Week 4 game in Dublin, Ireland.
With Austin sidelined once again on Thursday night, WR Ke’Shawn Williams, who was signed off the team’s practice squad last Saturday, is in uniform once again thus active for the Week 7 game against the Bengals.
The Steelers’ Thursday night list of inactive players also includes three healthy scratches in OL Andrus Peat, OLB DeMarvin Leal, and DL Logan Lee. Peat has been inactive for every game this season. This marks the second time this season that Leal and Lee have been on the team’s inactive list.
The Steelers have S DeShon Elliott (personal) active Thursday night after he ended Wednesday listed as questionable on the team’s injury report. While Elliott did not make the trip to Cincinnati with the team on Wednesday, he did arrive in town earlier on Thursday and has his game-status changed earlier in the afternoon..
