PITTSBURGH — Ahead of their Sunday night clash with the Green Bay Packers, the Pittsburgh Steelers named receiver Scotty Miller, guard Andrus Peat, and defensive linemen Logan Lee and DeMarvin Leal as inactives.

Along with second-year wideout Roman Wilson, Miller helped fill in while Calvin Austin III missed two games with a shoulder ailment. He had one catch for a 9-yard gain during the Steelers’ disappointing Thursday night loss to the Cincinnati Bengals.

Lee played in the Steelers’ initial three games, but rookie Derrick Harmon’s return from a preseason knee injury has made Lee the odd man out lately. Leal, the Steelers’ third-round pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, started this season on the team’s practice squad before being signed to the active roster over a month ago. He played in the Steelers’ wins over the New England Patriots and Minnesota Vikings, notching two combined tackles.

Peat, a former New Orleans Saints first-round draft pick and training camp free agency addition, hasn’t yet been labeled as active for a game this season. He’s also played for the Las Vegas Raiders during his 11-year pro career.

Inside linebacker Malik Harrison and rookie quarterback Will Howard did not come off the team’s injured reserve despite returning to practice.
