Debo, Spaeth, Shamarko all out.

My guess is that they'll have Moats move around a bit and continue to rotate the OLBs like they have all season. We basically have 4 starters. Maybe Chickillo will see the field (!!!)
 
Deebo is listed as OUT for the game. I guess we will get to see Jones play an entire game.
 
I will just throw this in here

1. Pittsburgh Steelers

Record: 5-4

Analysis: The Steelers face a stiff fight in the AFC wild-card race after opening the season as a Super Bowl favorite. The list of injuries to elite and prominent players is staggering.

Sunday's game against the Cleveland Browns could mark their fifth game without quarterback Ben Roethlisberger (knee, foot). The Steelers are 3-2 with him and 2-2 without him in the lineup. Historically, their winning percentage has dropped from 66.9 in games he has played to 54.5 in games hasn't. Third-stringer Landry Jones would make his second start, in part because longtime backup Bruce Gradkowski (finger/shoulder) is on injured reserve and in part because Michael Vick (hamstring) is sidelined.

The team got only six games from tailback Le'Veon Bell (knee, suspension). Backup DeAngelo Williams has been productive, and the Steelers have actually averaged two yards more per play with him on the field than with Bell, but Williams is 32 years old and is now dealing with a foot injury. The offensive line lost All-Pro center Maurkice Pouncey (broken leg) and tackle Mike Adams (back) in the preseason and left tackle Kelvin Beachum (ACL) in Week 6.

The Steelers have played four games without linebacker Ryan Shazier (shoulder) and two games apiece with safety Will Allen (ankle) and defensive end Stephon Tuitt (knee) out. And they have lost at least one game (Week 4 against the Baltimore Ravens) because of a place-kicking odyssey that began with Shaun Suisham's preseason ACL tear and continued when replacement Garrett Hartley injured his hamstring prior to Week 1.

Put it all together, and it's amazing the Steelers have a winning record. But their injuries, combined with the Cincinnati Bengals' 8-0 start, have put them four games behind in the loss column in a division they should have been in contention to win. Their championship hopes might well be lost.
 
All we need is a chance, wild card or more. NEW season at the end of the season. We play to win !!!!!



Salute the nation
 
We have pretty much zero chance of winning the division. We still have a decent chance to make the playoffs but it will be tough. We continue to pile up the injuries. But, as I've said many times, if we can get in the playoffs, no one will want to play us. We will have as good a chance as anyone if Ben, AB, Bryant, Heath and DW are in on O and if our D can stay relatively healthy.
 
All we need is a wild card spot. New season once the tournament begins. Super bowl or bust.

butler better have some creative formations vs manziel as if if is going to use just the 2-4-5 and 1-5-5 to blitz hard and edge rushers miss and jhonny steps and with speed and the problems the past 2 weaks of overpursuing has led to easy td's or massive runs will be a problem.

this is a game i would like to see the 3-3-5 and 4-2-5 as I think it will confuse and keep more of our guys in thier lanes
