The Pittsburgh Steelers face a tough situation as six players, including quarterback Russell Wilson and guard Isaac Seumalo, have been declared inactive for their upcoming game against the Denver Broncos. While Wilson will serve as the third emergency quarterback, his on-field presence is limited due to his calf injury.
Notably, Roman Wilson was expected to make his NFL debut but will instead remain sidelined. The Steelers will have to rely on their wide receivers, including George Pickens and Calvin Austin, who struggled in their last game.
Defensively, the team will miss key depth with safeties Jalen Elliott and Terrell Edmunds inactive. This decision came after Edmunds recently signed from the Jacksonville Jaguars practice squad.
