The Steelers inactives for tonight's game against the Baltimore Ravens includes three players that were ruled out on Friday.
Ryan Shazier suffered a spinal injury against the Bengals and on Wednesday night UPMC neurosurgeons and Steelers team physicians Drs. David Okonkwo and Joseph Maroon performed spinal stabilization surgery on Shazier to address his injury.
Tyler Matakevich, who stepped in against the Bengals for Shazier, is also inactive. Matakevich suffered a shoulder injury against the Bengals and didn't practice all week.
With the two of them out, look for a combination of players to step up, including Sean Spence, who was signed this past week.
The Steelers will be also be without Joe Haden for the fourth consecutive week. Haden, who suffered a fractured fibula against the Colts on Nov. 12, is working on his rehab.
The other inactives include Joshua Dobbs, J.J. Wilcox, Matt Feiler and Vince Williams.
