Steelers inactives for Week 6 at Buccaneers

The Pittsburgh Steelers announced their inactive list for Week 6 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, headlined by receiver Ben Skowronek who was ruled out due to a calf injury. However, the offense welcomes back running back Rico Dowdle after he missed three consecutive games with a toe injury. Rookie receiver Germie Bernard is expected to see expanded duties in Skowronek's absence.

Additional inactive players for Pittsburgh include Drew Allar, Will Howard, Sean Murphy-Bunting, Eli Heidenreich, Terell Smith, and Kevin Jobity Jr. To reinforce their depth, the Steelers signed running back Lew Nichols to the 53-man roster and temporarily elevated wide receivers Brandon Johnson and Brandon Smith from the practice squad.
