That elite Pittsburgh Steelers defense is going into today’s game with the Las Vegas Raiders in rough shape. The team announced their inactives for this week’s game and are minus two starting defenders.
Here’s the full list of inactives:
LB Devin Bush
CB Joe Haden
QB Dwayne Haskins
DL Carlos Davis
G Rashaad Coward
The biggest task for the Steelers defense today is to try to slow down Raiders star tight end Darren Waller. Not having Bush and Haden in the lineup makes this an even greater challenge. Both guys are dealing with groin injuries.
In terms of replacements, James Pierre will replace Haden on the outside at cornerback with more Justin Layne in sub-package defense and in place of Bush, look for a much heavier workload for Joe Schobert but his direct replacement is likely to be Robert Spillane.
