Steelers quarterback Will Howard, activated off of injured reserve this week, will be inactive but serve as the emergency third quarterback.
Each team is down a defensive starter or two: Pittsburgh will be without cornerback Darius Slay and outside linebacker Alex Highsmith, who put together two-sack games in back-to-back weeks ahead of missing todays tilt against the Bengals.
Cincinnati, on the other hand, will be without defensive end Trey Hendrickson, the NFL sack leader from a year ago. Hendrickson will now miss both games against the Steelers this season.
