Pre-Game Buzz:
Martavis Bryant was expected to make his NFL debut at WR for the Steelers tonight, but is instead inactive. Veteran WR Lance Moore will play for the first time in a Steelers uniform, however. Dri Archer is out, as was expected, and Ramon Foster is the first offensive lineman to go down so Cody Wallace will start in his place.
For Carolina, top running back DeAngelo Williams is, indeed, out for this game. Jonathan Stewart will assume top ground duties while another backup, Fozzy Whittaker, is also out. Former Steeler Jerricho Cotchery will not play either, but Jason Avant is active and will start on the side of the field opposite rookie Kelvin Benjamin.
