Donte Jackson, a cornerback, will not play for the Pittsburgh Steelers against the Cincinnati Bengals. He is at the top of the game’s list of inactive players. Jackson was labeled as questionable going into the game, but his lower back pinched nerve has persisted and needs time to heal. During practice on Wednesday, he made the injury worse, and it won’t be completely healed until the offseason.
James Pierre or Cory Trice will start, but it appears more likely that Trice will start for the Steelers based on the team’s performance against the Kansas City Chiefs.
The Steelers, meanwhile, make the audacious decision to use just four interior defensive linemen. Due to the inactivity of Dean Lowry and Isaiahh Loudermilk, the squad will turn to Preston Smith for interior support. Instead, given how offensively pass-heavy the Bengals are, it is not a concern.
The Steelers are entirely healthy at wide receiver, but wide receiver Scotty Miller is out once more. Despite his oblique injury, Ben Skowronek will play. Kyle Allen, meanwhile, serves as the backup quarterback. The backup, Justin Fields, will be back.
