Standards or expectations may not change for Mike Tomlin and the Pittsburgh STeelers, but it's hard to deny just how ravaged by injury the Steelers have been. Both starting tackles have been lost for the year after Max Starks was placed on IR earlier this week. Chris Kemoeatu, who injured his knee and ankle during last Monday night's win, has been bothered by pain all week and is listed as questionable. The news is better on the defensive front despite the fact that Brett Keisel is still dealing with a nagging hamstring injury.
Here's your official Friday injury report for both the Steelers and the visiting New England Patriots.
