PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Steelers will be without two important pieces of the starting defense this week as they take on the Green Bay Packers at Acrisure Stadium. 

Defensive lineman Montravius Adams and safety Minkah Fitzpatrick had already been ruled out with injuries. Offensive lineman Dylan Cook, running back Godwin Igwebuike, defensive tackle Breiden Fohoko, cornerback Darius Rush and quarterback Mason Rudolph were healthy scratches. 

Rudolph is still dressed but cannot enter the game unless the Steelers exhaust all of their other options at quarterback. 

Defensive lineman Cameron Heyward and linebacker Elandon Roberts will be active against Green Bay despite carrying injury designations through the end of the week and being limited up at different points throughout the week. Outside linebacker Nick Herbig was also dealing with a calf injury this week and had been limited but is active and was good to go for gameday.
