Steelers tight end Vance McDonald, linebacker James Harrison, quarterback Joshua Dobbs, cornerback Joe Haden, offensive tackle Matt Feiler and nose tackle Daniel McCullers are also inactive for the Steelers.
Rookie defensive back Cam Sutton will make his season debut for Pittsburgh. The third-round pick missed the first 10 games while recovering from a hamstring injury.
