Pittsburgh Steelers: Inactives revealed for Thursday Night Football against Cleveland Browns
The Pittsburgh Steelers made it through the week with a relatively clean injury report. But they’ll still be a bit shorthanded for the Thursday Night Football showdown with the Cleveland Browns.
Minkah Fitzpatrick was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday with lower leg cramps while Devin Bush was a full participant despite a foot injury. However, both players are active for the game.
Here’s the full list of inactives for the game:

Cleveland Browns inactives: QB Kellen Mond, WR Michael Woods, RB Demetric Felton, S Richard Lecounte III, OL Joe Haeg, OL Chris Hubbard, DE Jadeveon Clowney
The Steelers are coming off a rough showing offensively last week in a 17-14 loss to the New England Patriots. Quarterback Mitch Trubisky threw for 168 yards on 21-of-33 passing, a touchdown and an interception while Najee Harris was the leading rusher with 49 yards on the ground.
Cleveland, meanwhile, also suffered a tough loss as the New York Jets staged a fourth-quarter comeback to pull off the 31-30 victory in Jacoby Brissett’s second game as the starter. That means both teams will look to get back on track when the game kicks off at 8:15 p.m. ET on Prime Video.
Former Steelers cornerback Joe Haden to retire after signing one-day deal with Browns
Former Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Joe Haden is signing a one-day deal with the Browns on Wednesday. He is doing it with the intention of retiring as part of the Cleveland organization, which drafted him out of Florida with the No. 7 overall pick in the 2010 NFL Draft. ESPN’s Adam Schefter confirmed the news with Haden’s agent Drew Rosenhaus on Wednesday.
During his career in the NFL from 2010 to 2022, Haden played seven seasons with the Browns and five seasons with the Steelers. In 158 games played, he racked up 504 solo tackles, three sacks, seven forced fumbles, 29 takeaways and two touchdowns.
Haden entered the league with a nose for the football. In his rookie season, he had the most interceptions of his career with six. In his final season, 2021, he had 38 total tackles in 12 games played with one forced fumble.
