This will make for some very interesting decisions when it comes to the 46 players who will be active on Sunday.Game StatusOut:OT Marcus Gilbert Here are the possibilities to end up inactive for Week 8:Definitely:OT Marcus Gilbert- when he didn’t practice at all this week
Womens Terrell Edmunds Jersey , it makes sense for Gilbert to be ruled out for Sunday. He’s the only player on the injury report which is a good thing, but with Cleveland’s pass rush it would have be nice to have all starting five lineman.Most Likely:QB Mason Rudolph- how would Steelers Nation react if, coming out of the bye, Rudolph was active and Dobbs was not? I don’t think we’re going to find out the answer to the question.DT L.T. Walton- unless something crazy happened during practice the last two weeks, Walton is still the last guy on the depth chart. And with everyone else playing decently, it’s going to be tough to move out of there.OT Zach Banner- he can continue to come in every week and collect a game paycheck without stepping on the field (unlike a certain RB who will remain nameless).S Marcus Allen- I have no idea what’s going on here. I’m guessing the plan is to keep him inactive all season while he develops. Until the Steelers show they want use him on game day, I’m assuming he will never get a hat. Possibly:WR Darrius Heyward-Bey or Justin Hunter- with everyone healthy, the Steelers can’t afford to dress every wide receiver. So someone’s got to sit. Hey-Bey has been out with an injury, but to not play him would be a healthy scratch since he’s not on the status report. Justin Hunter doesn’t bring anything to special teams. It will be very telling of how the Steelers want to do things moving forward with their receivers.CB Brian Allen or S Jordan Dangerfield- both of these defensive backs are now buried on the depth chart and would only see the field on defense in an extreme circumstance. Both of them are valuable to special teams
Womens Chukwuma Okorafor Jersey , but Dangerfield it is almost irreplaceable as the up-man for punts. Unlikely:LB Matthew Thomas- if they really wanted someone else active, Thomas is the last LB to get on the field on defense. It just might not help in his development if they make him feel like he’s taking a step back. I think he’ll be dressed on Sunday.WR- James Washington- it wouldn’t be outside the realm of possibility to decide to go with both Hunter and Heyward-Bey. Hunter was a part of the two-minute offense ahead of Washington last game, and Hey-Bey just brings so much to special teams. Just like with Thomas, I don’t think it would help Washington’s development by sitting him down.TE Xavier Grimble- he was on the injury report earlier in the week with a concussion, but I assume he’s out of the protocol since he’s not on the game status report. He’s been getting used more and more extensively with creative sets, so it would be a shame if he did not play.S Morgan Burnett- he practiced all week and is apparently ready to go. He could be held out as a precaution, but a healthy scratch would not makes sense if Burnett is in the plans for the rest of the season.Projected Inactive List:Mason RudolphL.T. WaltonZach Banner Marcus Allen Marcus GilbertJustin Hunter Brian Allen I believe this is inactive list is going to look almost exactly like this if there are no injuries, with the exception of Marcus Gilbert. But after a bye week, the Steelers could tweak their game plan with where they want to use people. So if there’s going to be any surprises when it comes to the inactive list
Youth Stephon Tuitt Jersey , this would be the week.Feel free to list your projected inactives in the comments below.Steelers vs. Chiefs Week 2: Knee Jerk Reactions from the Steelers defense-less loss to the Chiefs Vince Neil of M枚tley Cr眉e claimed to be a dreamer with a heart of gold that had to run away high so he didn’t come home low. But I think he was at his most poignant when he sang...”Im on my way. I’m on my way. Home, Sweet, Home. As Week One’s tie flummoxed those in Steelers Nation, I was feeling cautiously optimistic leading up to what I presumed to be a fireworks show at Heinz Field. So if you want to know how my emotions fluctuated throughout the day, keep on reading.Nonetheless, a simple reminder, a knee jerk reaction is an immediate and unthinking, emotional reaction. It’s basically shooting first and apologizing later. I can safely say that’s a true definition of your’s truly and a good lot of Steeler Nation. Here’s my real-time reactions during the Steelers battle with Andy Reid and the KC Chiefs.1st QuarterJim Furyk back home leading the Terrible Towel wave. Cool.It’s amazing. Kind of knew that Ben would go deep to Washington on the first play. If fans and media complain thet somebody needs to get involved, they typically do it right away. Kind of predictable.Mahomes has poise on the pocket. Conley
Youth Ramon Foster Jersey , against the zone, was wide open. Team just honored Billy Hillgrove for 25 years in the booth. Great ovation.It’s early, but Ben looks way off again.The crowd has completely given up on Berry. The boos were deafening.They left Watkins and Kelce all alone. Steelers need to score on this drive. If not we are witnessing the beginning of the end.Washington is in there a lot.AB was open. Ben just plum missed him.Conner with the spinaroonie in the open field.Welcome back Tony Toe Tap.Can’t settle for three.Can’t even get three. Ouch. Gonna be a long drive home.Leave it to the Steelers to make Sammy Watkins look like a superstar.Edmunds plain blew that stop. Gotta tackle.Mahomes is for real.They got lucky there on the hold. People are leaving.If they don’t do something soon, I’m going to have to drown my sorrows at the Pierogie House.Quarter 2Jesse James was wide open. Nice.Nice look from Ben too.Crowd is back in a big way.Dude next to me snubbed me on the high five. I’m dejected.Offense can’t let up. Need to cut it to seven.Switz can add a really good dimension to this team.Was that s Big Dan sighting? He does exist.That was a perfect drive.Bos(not-so)well. What in the name of Kris Johnson is going on?Jeff Hartman and I picked James as a sleeper to have a huge game.James Wow-shington.This place is electric now.Quarter 3What a great half. But can’t revert back to Q1.Reverting back.Missed assignment. Watt can’t be covering guys deep.This defense couldn’t stop up a toilet.AB and JuJu may very well be the best receiving duo in the NFL.Ben is overthrowing these guys. They’re getting separation.Got lucky on the pass interference.Why is AB having a tantrum?Little surprised. Thought No. 30 was short.This will get reversed.I can’t believe they let Ridley play .Quarter 4Six TDS are ridiculous. This defense is undisciplined.Lucky bounce to be at the one.Gotta bring it. Need the safety.Just got hot sauce in my eye. Crap! My eyes are like the Steeler secondary. Burned.Really brought it on the safety. Huge.Gotta take advantage now. No TD here and it is over.Another penalty on Vance. C’mon man. Crowd is mad. But tough to go for it with 9:16 left.Here we go. Need seven and luck.JJ and JuJu. Clutch.Vintage Ben. I can’t take this. Wow. Needed a three and out. That first down killed them.Well. That sucked. ...So...now as I replay the game more and more in my head, my perceptions will alter. But for now, you just got a glimpse of the first thoughts that popped in my mind while I was watching this game. Feel free to get your commentus maximus on in the comment section.
