Steelers-Cardinals game-day blog
It’s a chilly, windy day here at Heinz Field, though the sun has peeked through on occasion.
The Steelers will be without the services of Jarvis Jones today. He’s out with a hip injury. Jones was coming off the best game of his career – one in which he had consistent pressure, recorded a sack and forced a fumble against San Diego.
With Jones down today, Anthony Chickillo will be active for the first time in his career.
Expect, however, the Steelers to use Arthur Moats on both sides, with Bud Dupree and James Harrison mixed in.
Also down for the Steelers are Ben Roethlisberger, safety Will Allen, corner Cortez Allen, linebacker Ryan Shazier, guard Chris Hubbard and tight end Jesse James.
As expected, Robert Golden will start for Allen at safety while Sean Spence will again play in place of Shazier.
For Arizona, sack leader Alex Okafor is down today with a calf injury. He’ll be replaced by Markus Golden. Also down are QB Matt Barkley, receiver J.J. Nelson, linebacker Shaq Riddick, offensive tackle D.J. Humphries, guard Earl Watford and nose tackle Xavier Williams.
