Steelers inactives: Starting NT Montravius Adams out with ankle injury

Montravius Adams was out again in Week 13 while safety Minkah Fitzpatrick returned to the lineup.

The Pittsburgh Steelers only had one player listed with a game designation on their final injury report. That player, starting nose tackle Montravius Adams, who was questionable with an ankle injury, was on the Steelers’ inactive list released 90 minutes before kickoff of their Week 13 home game against the Arizona Cardinals.

Adams had the ankle injury all week but had a setback Friday, going from a full participant to limited in practice. He would not suit up against Arizona.

Adams has not played for the last month. He has started all eight games he played this season and has 21 tackles and a forced fumble, anchoring the middle of the defensive interior. Keeanu Benton is listed behind Adams on their depth chart.

These are the players on Pittsburgh’s Week 13 inactive list:

Pittsburgh Steelers Week 13 inactive list

  • QB Mason Rudolph (3rd QB)
  • CB Darius Rush
  • RB Anthony McFarland
  • ILB Blake Martinez
  • DT Montravius Adams
  • T Dylan Cook

Everyone else on the list was a healthy scratch. Rudolph is eligible to play under the league’s new emergency quarterback rule, should starter Kenny Pickett and backup Mitch Trubisky both get injured during the game.
