Pittsburgh Steelers lose four players for Chargers game, including key starting lineman

The Pittsburgh Steelers will be without four players against the Los Angeles Chargers, with guard Isaac Seumalo being the key player to watch. Seumalo left the fourth quarter of Sunday’s game against the Indianapolis Colts with a pectoral injury and did not practice all week. The team quickly ruled him out.

He battled through the injury after suffering it against the Green Bay Packers, but now, the team decided it would be better if Seumalo sat. That will clear the way for Spencer Anderson to make his first start of the season, and it will be interesting to see what happens to the team’s jumbo package.

Meanwhile, inside linebacker Cole Holcomb remains out for the second straight week with an illness. It is unknown what illness Holcomb is currently dealing with but he has not practiced in nearly two weeks. That will give way to Malik Harrison to play more in his role.

Wide receiver Scotty Miller is out again as well, as he battles back from a broken finger. Miller has missed the last three games after suffering the injury in practice before the Packers game.

Lastly, safety Jabrill Peppers will not play as he battles a quad strain. Peppers was seen warming up, however, likely signaling that he should be okay after this game and has a real shot to return against the Cincinnati Bengals next week.
