The Cleveland Browns and Pittsburgh Steelers face off on Monday Night Football. The Browns have already been eliminated from postseason contention while the Steelers hold on to a chance to make it in.
The two teams just released their inactive lists for the game with the visitors having a big name on theirs:
- RB Kareem Hunt
- S John Johnson III
- S Ronnie Harrison Jr.
- CB Troy Hill
- LB Mack Wilson
- OL Hjalte Froholdt
- QB Kyle Lauletta
For the home team Steelers, their starting punter will be out as well as a couple of defenders:
- P Pressley Harvin III
- LB Buddy Johnson
- DT Isaiah Buggs
- QB Dwayne Haskins
More importantly, the team has still has linebackers Devin Bush and Joe Schobert, along with defensive end Chris Wormley on their reserve/COVID-19 list. Offensive lineman Zach Banner and running back Anthony McFarland are on the list for the offense.
With Cleveland eliminated from making the playoffs, allowing Hunt to heal fully is a smart decision. It is interesting that other injured players, like Baker Mayfield and Myles Garrett, are playing.
