The Pittsburgh Steelers play the Houston Texans at home on Monday night in an AFC Wild Card game. If you’re like me, you’re counting down the hours until the 8:00 PM/EST contest begins. As usual, I will project the Steelers’ inactives for every game of the 2025 season. Below is my best guess as to which players won’t be given helmets against the Texans at Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh.
Game inactives are announced 90 minutes before kickoff, so check back then to see which players from both teams will be sitting out of the game. Roster rules make this exercise even harder, as teams can elevate up to two players from their practice squad to their active roster for game days.
