Surprisingly, Pittsburgh Steelers running back Anthony McFarland Jr. was made inactive ahead of the team’s Monday night game against the Chicago Bears. That was surprising due to McFarland playing last Sunday against the Cleveland Browns and then not showing up on the injury report this past week.
On Thursday, Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin was asked about McFarland being inactive Monday night against the Bears and if that was maybe a result of the second-year running back having some sort of a setback with the injured knee that had him on the team’s Reserve/Injured list for the first six games of the season.
