Pittsburgh Steelers: Inactives revealed for Week 11 vs Cleveland Browns

The Pittsburgh Steelers have released the official list of in inactives for their Week 11 intra-divisional road matchup against the Cleveland Browns.

These two AFC North foes have already faced each other once this season back in September, where the Steelers scraped by in a 26-22 win at home. Now, they’ll meet again with sole possession of second place in the division on the line as each are 6-3. Injury-wise, Cleveland is obviously reeling after losing QB Deshaun Watson, and both teams are without some rotational players.

For the full list of both the Browns and Steelers inactives ahead of their 1 p.m. ET kickoff, go ahead and read below:

Steelers Inactives

QB Mason Rudolph (3rd QB)
CB Darius Rush
S Minkah Fitzpatrick
RB Godwin Igwebuike
DT Montravius Adams
T Dylan Cook

Browns Inactives

S Juan Thornhill
WR Marquise Goodwin
C Luke Wypler
DE Isaiah McGuire
DT Siaki Ika

Plus, Cleveland noted that “G Michael Dunn (calf) and T Dawand Jones (knee), who were listed as questionable, will play today.”

Steelers activate Pat Freiermuth, place Keanu Neal on IR

Kenny Pickett and the Steelers offense likely are welcoming back Pat Freiermuth with appreciative arms. On Saturday, Pittsburgh activated the tight end to the active roster.

And for Freiermuth, it’s been awhile since he last saw a snap. Given that Pittsburgh faces Cleveland in a key AFC North division game, the offense can use any and all help.

Freiermuth returned to practice on Wednesday, when the Steelers opened the 21-day window for his return to the active list. But they needed to be deliberate in getting the third-year tight end from Penn State back to action. He strained his hamstring, Oct. 1, during an upset loss at the Houston Texans.

The injury didn’t appear that serious at the time. The tight end returned to practice, then aggravated the strain again. That’s the problem with a hamstring injury. If the tendon isn’t completely healed, it’s easier for a re-injury. The Steelers then placed him on IR. In all, he’s missed the past five games. He participated in full practices Thursday and Friday.

They also made other roster tweaks ahead of their road game against the Browns. The team placed Keanu Neal on injured reserve. The safety suffered a rib injury last Sunday in the win over the Packers. He didn’t practice all week. He’ll now be out a minimum of four games.

The Steelers also signed linebacker Mykal Walker to the active roster. They then promoted linebacker Tariq Carpenter and safety Trenton Thompson from the practice squad to the active list. The Steelers have suffered some significant injuries at linebacker, with the team recently losing Kwon Alexander and Cole Holcomb for the season.
