As has been expected all week, star linebacker LaMarr Woodley will miss Sunday's critical AFC North matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals. James Harrison's return last week helped mask Woodley's absence a bit, and the Steelers can only hope Harrison does the same this week against Cincinnati. Bengals' rookie quarterback Andy Dalton and running back Cedric Benson are certainly happy to see Woodley out of the lineup.
Ben Roethlisberger will be without wideout Emmanuel Sanders against the Bengals. Big Ben could have some problems on Sunday against the 10th ranked Bengals pass defense, a unit that has given up just eight passing touchdowns all season.
Here are the Steelers' inactives for Week 10:
- WR Arnaz Battle
- QB Dennis Dixon
- LB LaMarr Woodley
- OG Jamon Meredith
- DT Chris Hoke
- WR Emmnauel Sanders
- DE Al Woods
