The Pittsburgh Steelers have now released their Week 8 inactive list ahead of their Sunday home game against the Cleveland Browns and a bit surprisingly it included the name of rookie wide receiver James Washington, the team’s second-round draft pick this year.
As I wrote in this week’s inactive prediction post, it was a pretty good bet that veteran wide receiver Justin Hunter would get a helmet on Sunday against the Browns due to comments made by quarterback Ben Roethlisberger on his Tuesday radio interview.
“I think we need to sprinkle in Justin Hunter a little bit because he is a guy that’s been around, that can make plays for us,” Roethlisberger said on Tuesday.
