The Pittsburgh Steelers have now released their list of seven players who will be inactive for their Week 14 Sunday afternoon road game against the Oakland Raiders and as expected, it includes the names of the two players who ended the week listed as out on the team’s Friday injury report.

The Steelers other Sunday afternoon Week 14 inactives are all officially considered healthy scratches and they are quarterback Mason Rudolph, tackle Zach Banner, defensive end L.T Walton, outside linebacker Olasunkanmi Adeniyi and safety Marcus Allen.
