BALTIMORE — The Pittsburgh Steelers have a chance to clinch the AFC North Division title with a win over the Baltimore Ravens but will have to do so without four starters.
Wide receiver George Pickens (hamstring), strong safety DeShon Elliott (hamstring), cornerback Donte Jackson (back) and defensive tackle Larry Ogunjobi (groin) are inactive for Saturday’s game, which kicks off at 4:30 p.m. at M&T Bank Stadium.
It marks the third consecutive game the Steelers will play without Pickens, who leads the team in targets (90), receptions (55) and receiving yards (850) this season.
Elliott and Ogunjobi will miss their second consecutive games. Jackson was injured Sunday at the Philadelphia Eagles. The Steelers also will be without Justin Fields (abdominal), elevating Kyle Allen to backup quarterback and leaving them without an emergency quarterback.
Jackson’s absence will give an opportunity to second-year cornerback Cory Trice Jr., who was activated from the injured reserve two weeks ago but hasn’t played since Week 3.
The Ravens also will be without a starting wide receiver in Nelson Agholor (concussion). Also inactive for Baltimore are cornerback Jalyn Armour-Davis, free safety Marcus Williams, running back Keaton Mitchell, outside linebacker Adisa Isaac and center Nick Samac.
