Wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster had previously been ruled out on Friday as he is recovering from a knee injury sustained against the Browns in Week 11. James Conner reaggravated his shoulder injury in Week 11 but was able to practice in a limited fashion for the past week and a half. Also listed as out, Conner will get another week to rest his shoulder as he is inactive.
After missing the last two games due to a knee injury, Artie Burns was ready to return for the Steelers. Instead, Justin Layne earns the spot as a key special team contributor.
As for the rest of the inactive list, it looks extremely familiar when compared to the last three weeks. Third-string quarterback Paxton Lynch is inactive yet again. The other players filling up the inactive list are TE Zach Gentry, OT Chukwuma Okorafor, and LB Tuzar Skipper.
