Week 12 of the NFL season concludes tonight as the Indianapolis Colts (4-6-1) will host the Pittsburgh Steelers (3-7). Ahead of tonight's game, the Steelers have ruled out running back Jaylen Warren and cornerback Ahkello Witherspoon. The Colts have ruled out defensive end Kwity Paye.
Tonight's game will begin at 8:15 PM ET at Lucas Oil Stadium. Indianapolis is currently in second place in the AFC South. Pittsburgh is in last place in the AFC North and head coach Mike Tomlin is en route to suffering his first losing season.
A win tonight is crucial for both these teams with losing records and who are behind in the playoff race.
Pittsburgh Steelers Injury report
Pittsburgh has ruled out two active players thus far. Backup running back Jaylen Warren, who has seen some production this season, was ruled out with a hamstring injury. This will create more opportunities for Benny Snell and could make Najee Harris' workload even bigger.
Starting cornerback Ahkello Witherspoon is out and Ryan Maulet will get the start in his absence.
Indianapolis Colts injury report
The Colts have already ruled out one key player in Kwity Paye on the defensive line. It also seems like they will be without starting tight end Kylen Granson.
Defensive linemen DeForest Buckner and Yannick Ngakoue are both questionable, but it would be a huge blow if they are ruled out. Steelers running back Najee Harris will be primed to have one of his biggest games of the season tonight, especially if the Colts are without another key defensive lineman.
Defensive end Dayo Odeyingbo will start for Paye.
