Pittsburgh has a bevy of big names on the inactive list.

Jared Wickerham

The Pittsburgh Steelers and Cleveland Browns will square off on Sunday afternoon, but all of the stars won't be playing.

The Browns will be missing the following players, according to their official Twitter account:

Defensive backs Dimitri Patterson and Ray Ventrone, fullback Owen Marecic, defensive lineman Ronnie Cameron, offensive lineman Jarrod Shaw, running back Brandon Jackson and wide receiver Josh Cooper.

As for the visitors, the Steelers will have the following players watching on the sideline, per their Twitter account:

Quarterbacks Ben Roethlisberger and Byron Leftwich, wide receivers Antonio Brown and Jerricho Cotchery, offensive lineman Marcus Gilbert, safety Troy Polamalu and defensive back DeMarcus Van Dyke.

The injuries for Pittsburgh are, of course, very severe. Aside from Roethlisberger, the loss of Brown and Cotchery will put added pressure on players like Emmanuel Sanders. With Leftwich also on the shelf, Charlie Batch will get his chance to start for Mike Tomlin's club.
