The Pittsburgh Steelers have now released their list of players who will be inactive for the team’s Week 8 Sunday afternoon regular season road game against the Philadelphia Eagles, and as expected, four players for the visiting team will miss the contest due to injuries.
After dealing with a shoulder injury all week, Steelers cornerback Levi Wallace is inactive for the team’s Sunday afternoon home game against the Eagles. Wallace injured his shoulder during the team’s Week 7 road loss. This will mark the second game he’s missed with an injury this season.
The other injured players on the Steelers’ Week 8 inactive list are defensive tackle Larry Ogunjobi (knee), kicker Chris Boswell (right groin), and cornerback Josh Jackson (groin).
Ogunjobi failed to practice all week, and this will mark the first game he’s missed this season. Boswell will also miss his first game of 2022 on Sunday after showing up on the team’s injury report on Friday with a right groin issue. He and Jackson, who is also dealing with a groin injury, were both downgraded to out on Saturday. With Boswell out, the Steelers quickly signed kicker Nick Sciba on Saturday, as he had been with the team during the preseason. With Ogunjobi out, the Steelers elevated defensive tackle Carlos Davis from the practice squad on Saturday, and he will dress and play for the first time this season.
The Steelers’ list of three other players that are inactive on Sunday afternoon are all healthy scratches. Those three players are quarterback Mason Rudolph, guard Kendrick Green and inside linebacker Mark Robinson. Neither Rudolph nor Green have dressed for a game this season.
