PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Steelers have made six player inactive in Week 5 against the Denver Broncos.

Quarterback Dwayne Haskins, wide receiver James Washington, cornerbacks Cam Sutton and Ahkello Witherspoon, inside linebacker Buddy Johnson and defensive tackle Carlos Davis will not play.

Sutton and Washington are both dealing with groin injuries. Washington was hurt during practice Thursday after Sutton left in-game against the Green Bay Packers. Neither participated in practice on Friday.

Davis has missed the last three games with a knee injury.

The Steelers will start James Pierre in place of Sutton and called Karl Joseph up from the practice squad for the game. Pittsburgh also signed wide receiver Cody White to the 53-man roster to replace Washington.
