The Pittsburgh Steelers made an unexpected inactive announcement for their Week 12 matchup against the Bengals.
Pittsburgh — For their Week 12 game against the Cincinnati Bengals, the Pittsburgh Steelers have declared six players inactive, including one that many did not anticipate.
Mason Rudolph, the quarterback, safety Minkah Fitzpatrick (hamstring), defensive lineman Montravius Adams (ankle), offensive tackle Dylan Cook, linebacker Blake Martinez, and running back Anthony McFarland have all been declared by the Steelers not to dress against Cincinnati.
The Steelers’ unexpected inactive player is McFarland. The running back took back his position as the team’s kick returner after coming off injured reserve. Nevertheless, Pittsburgh has chosen to bench him for Week 12 and will instead start Godwin Igwebuike in the starting lineup. It is anticipated that he will replace McFarland in the kick return role.
Fitzpatrick’s hamstring ailment keeps him out of his fourth game. The All-Pro safety was “fighting” to get back on the field, according to head coach Mike Tomlin, but he was unable to suit up for practice throughout the week.
Due to an ankle injury, Adams will miss his third game; nonetheless, the Steelers have good news regarding their defensive lineman. Adams was restricted in practice this week despite being declared out; this was his first return since the injury.
Rudolph is permitted to wear the third quarterback uniform for the team, but he cannot play unless Mitch Trubisky and Kenny Pickett are sidelined.
Martinez joined the club this week after being cut from the practice squad of the Carolina Panthers. The seasoned linebacker won’t make his Steelers debut for at least a week since he has just had a few days of practice under his belt.
Pittsburgh promoted Tariq Carpenter from the practice squad to take his spot. Carpenter participated in both of the previous games and helped out on special teams.
