The Steelers had a lengthy list of injuries coming into the start of this week’s practices and the list remains long heading into Sunday night’s game against the Chiefs.
Pittsburgh has ruled out seven players for the game, including several starters. Linebacker Ryan Shazier won’t play because of a knee injury, slot receiver Eli Rogers will be out with a toe injury, safety Robert Golden has been felled by a hamstring injury and left guard Ramon Foster has a bruised sternum.
Foster will be replaced by B.J. Finney, who hurt his finger during Thursday’s practice but says he’s fine to play this weekend. Safety Sean Davis also looks set to play after returning to practice Friday despite the back injury that sidelined him the first two days of the week.
Fullback Roosevelt Nix, cornerback Senquez Golson and center Cody Wallace are the others who will miss the game with the Chiefs. None of them have played in a game yet this season.
