Steelers vs Lions inactives: Chase Claypool inactive, Zach Banner gets a helmet
Inactives for this week’s Pittsburgh Steelers game with the Detroit Lions are out and the biggest surprise is about who isn’t on it. Wide receiver Chase Claypool will miss today’s game with a toe injury but offensive tackle Zach Banner is active for the first time this season.
This is in addition to quarterback Ben Roethlisberger who was placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Saturday after testing positive for COVID-19.
Additionally, running back Anthony McFarland, linebacker Buddy Johnson, offensive lineman B.J. Finney and cornerback Ahkello Witherspoon are also inactive.
Here are the Lions inactives:
RB Jamaal Williams
DE Kevin Strong
LB Austin Lemonaire
