Mike Tomlin and the Pittsburgh Steelers will host the Green Bay Packers in the marquee game of Week 8 in the NFL. Aaron Rodgers has the opportunity to face his former team in a historic chapter of his legendary career.
The Steelers suffered a 33-31 loss against the Bengals, wasting a key opportunity to widen the gap in the AFC North, considering that Joe Burrow is injured with Cincinnati and that Lamar Jackson has not yet returned with the Ravens.
Meanwhile, the Packers arrive as the top team in the NFC and as potential Super Bowl favorites after the trade to acquire Micah Parsons from the Dallas Cowboys. For Matt LaFleur and Jordan Love, considering the past with Rodgers, this could be a statement game about the future of the franchise.
Who got injured with Pittsburgh Steelers?
Scott Miller got injured (finger) and has been officially ruled out by the Pittsburgh Steelers for the game against the Green Bay Packers. Another blow to the wide receiver position, which already lacked depth.
In a key development to watch, center Zach Frazier (calf) has been designated as questionable, though it seems he will play through the pain. Malik Harrison (knee) and quarterback Will Howard (right hand) are also listed as questionable.
