Just because you're a member of the Pittsburgh Steelers 53-man roster doesn't mean you'll be playing on Sundays, even if healthy.

That's because the NFL limits teams to 46 active players on game day.

So with the context clear, here are the inactive for today's matchup:

Steelers' Inactive players:

  • QB Mason Rudolph
  • RB Godwin Igwebuike 
  • OT Dylan Cook
  • WR Dez Fitzpatrick
  • WR Gunner Olszewski 
  • NT Breiden Fehoko

Raiders' Inactive players:

  • QB Aidan O'Connell
  • S Chris Smith II
  • LB Amari Burney 
  • WR Kristian Wilkerson 
  • DT Nesta Jade Silvera 

Observations:

It appears that recently signed free agent CB Desmond King will be making his Pittsburgh Steelers debut tonight. A former standout with the Texans, King was a surprise release on roster cutdown day, and he now will hope to provide a spark in the Steelers' secondary.
