Three starters headline the Pittsburgh Steelers inactives this week. As Pittsburgh prepares to take on the Cincinnati Bengals, they will be minus linebackers T.J. Watt and Alex Highsmith as well as starting wide receiver Diontae Johnson are all inactive.

In addition, defensive lineman Carlos Davis, quarterback Dwayne Haskins, guard Rashaad Coward and cornerback Ahkello Witherspoon are all also inactives.

Pittsburgh is going to have to count on Melvin Ingram and Jamir Jones to provide the pass rush this week without Watt and Highsmith in the lineup. The Steelers will still use plenty of three wide receivers this week with James Washington filling in for Johnson.
