Steelers Have Ruled Out a 'laundry list' of Players for Week 6 Matchup with the Raiders

As the Raiders prepare to take on the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 6 of the NFL season they are once again battling to get back to .500 as they currently sit at 2-3 . While the Raiders are game planning they'll have to be digging deep to get information on some backups as the Steelers deal with a "laundry list" of injuries according to coach Mike Tomlin.

So far four players have been ruled out for the Steelers as first reported by Alex Kozora of Steelers Depot . The ruled out players are edge rusher Nick Herbig, defensive tackle DeMarvin Leal, running back Cordarrelle Patterson, and edge Alex Highsmith.

There are a couple more players who are also doubtful to take the field against the Raiders. Those players are running back Jaylen Warren, tight end MyCole Pruitt, and saftey Damontae Kazee.

So it's safe to say the Steelers will be without some firepower in Las Vegas. Pittsburgh does, however, have Russell Wilson returning to practice, meaning there is a chance he takes the field against the Raiders.

Regardless of injuries Raiders and Steelers matchups are always close as they have a long and storied history as the Raiders lead their all time series at 17 wins to the Steelers' 15.

Week 6 is going to add another chapter to these iconic battles, the Raiders and Steelers kick off on Sunday, Oct. 13, at 1:05 PST in Las Vegas, Nevada.
