TE Heath Miller out for Steelers, QB Ben Roethlisbeger in

PITTSBURGH -- Tight end Heath Miller is on the Steelers’ inactive list after suffering a rib injury last week in Seattle. This is a big night for rookie Jesse James, who will be the primary tight end in passing sets.

Miller has been a focal part of the offense the last month with 32 targets in his last four games. He has 39 catches for 390 yards and a score through 11 games.

Helping fill the void left by Miller is slot receiver Markus Wheaton, who exploded for 201 yards and a score in Seattle.
