Steelers vs. Dolphins: Week 15 Inactives Unveiled
The Pittsburgh Steelers have released their inactive players for the Week 15 Monday night showdown against the Miami Dolphins at Acrisure Stadium. The home team's lineup is expected to feature several injured players, with some notable absences.
OLB T.J. Watt, who was ruled out on the Saturday injury report due to a lung injury, will not take the field on Monday night. This marks the first time Watt has missed games this season. Similarly, CB James Pierre, who suffered a calf injury, and OL Andrus Peat, who is dealing with a concussion, will also sit out the Week 15 contest. Peat, a healthy scratch, has been on the inactive list multiple times this season.
The Dolphins' game also saw the absence of rookie DT Derrick Harmon, who was listed as questionable on the injury report due to a knee injury. This is the fifth game Harmon has missed this season, and his third consecutive absence due to injury. Harmon's knee injury was sustained during the team's Week 12 road loss.
Among the Steelers' inactive players, three healthy scratches were also announced: QB Will Howard, DT Brodric Martin-Rhodes, and WR Roman Wilson. However, Howard remains the team's designated No. 3 emergency quarterback and will be in uniform. Wilson, on the other hand, has been a healthy scratch for two consecutive games.
The Steelers made a strategic move by signing WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling from the practice squad on Monday afternoon, making him active for the game. Additionally, OL Jack Driscoll and OLB/DE DeMarvin Leal, both elevated from the practice squad on Monday, will also take the field. They will revert to the practice squad on Tuesday.
RB Jaylen Warren, who was added to the injury report as questionable earlier in the day due to an illness, is also active for the game.
