        DeShon Elliott Might Miss Thursday Night Game

        Steelers S DeShon Elliott is not traveling with the team to Cincinnati for the Thursday night game because of a personal matter. Pittsburgh still lists him as questionable for the game, though, indicating he could still arrive separately Thursday and be ready to play.

        Elliott's absence would remove a key piece from the secondary and improve the matchup for the Bengals passing game. Pittsburgh has struggled to find any other safety it can trust for consistent playing time.

        There's no replacement you can comfortably swap in for Elliott in your IDP lineup. So if he turns up inactive, you'll probably want to look beyond Thursday night for a fill-in.
