Steelers vs. Jets: Inactive for Week 7

The Pittsburgh Steelers have released their list of players who will be inactive for their regular-season home game on Sunday night against the New York Jets in Week 7. As expected, some of the home team's players will be out due to injury.

After being officially ruled out for Sunday night's game on Friday's injury report, RB Cordarrelle Patterson (ankle), OLB Nick Herbig (hamstring) and C Zach Frazier (ankle) are all inactive for the Steelers.

For Patterson, who suffered an ankle injury several Sundays ago, tonight will be the third game he has missed this season. Herbig, who was injured in the Week 5 home game on Sunday evening, will be sidelined for the second time this season. On Sunday night, Frazier, who suffered an ankle injury last Sunday, will miss a game for the first time this season.

Also inactive Sunday night due to injuries are rookie WR Roman Wilson and S Damontae Kazee, who suffered an ankle injury during warmups before the Steelers' Week 5 game. Kazee, who was able to practice fully on Friday, was listed as questionable on the team's injury report on Saturday afternoon. This is the second straight game he has missed due to this ankle injury. Wilson, who made his NFL debut in Week 6, was also listed as questionable on Friday's injury report after being listed as a limited participant in practice on Thursday and Friday with a hamstring injury.

Steelers QB Kyle Allen, who served as the backup to QB Justin Fields for the first five games of the regular season, is once again the inactive emergency third quarterback on Sunday night.

The Steelers' inactive list also technically includes one healthy player in RB Aaron Shampklin.

In other notable news ahead of the Week 7 game, G Max Scharping will be active for the first time this season on Sunday. The team will also have TE MyCole Pruitt back on Sunday night. He missed the last four games due to a knee injury. OLB Alex Highsmith will also be active Sunday night after missing the last three games with a groin injury.

On Saturday, the Steelers signed OLB Ade Ogundeji from the team's practice squad to their 53-man roster and elevated WR Brandon Johnson and RB Jonathan Ward from the practice squad to the active/inactive roster. All three players are active for Sunday night's game against the Jets.
