Steelers defense, Sam Bradford, Vikings? secondary lead late inactive stories

Steelers defense, Sam Bradford, Vikings? secondary lead late inactive stories

Things just keep getting worse for the Steelers' defense. Aaron Smith's trip to the injured reserve last this week punctuates the already graphic losses of OLB James Harrison and NT Casey Hampton.

Sam Bradford is one of six quarterbacks who started last week and will not do so this week, and the Vikings are in especially bad shape. Cornerback Chris Cook is out after his arrest for domestic assault, and Antoine Winfield is out for the third straight week with a neck injury. Not a good time to be facing Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers.

Here are all the late-game inactives; thanks as always to Brian McIntyre at Mac's Football Blog.
