The Pittsburgh Steelers have now released their list of seven players who will be inactive for the team’s Sunday night regular season opener against the New England Patriots and as expected, safety Sean Davis is on it after officially being listed as doubtful on the Friday injury report with an ankle injury.
With Davis missing the Steelers regular season opener, fellow safety Kameron Kelly is expected to start against the Patriots. It will be Kelly’s first regular season NFL game.
The rest of the Steelers six inactives for Week 1 are all healthy scratches and the list of players includes quarterback Joshua Dobbs, tackle Chukwuma Okorafor, guard Fred Johnson, defensive end Isaiah Buggs, tight end Zach Gentry and cornerback Justin Layne.
