Travis Kirschke-DL - Steelers

Dec. 5 - 9:25 am et

Steelers DE Travis Kirschke is expected to miss Sunday's game after aggravating his calf injury.

Nick Eason and Ziggy Hood played well in his place last week, so the Steelers run defense will remain an elite unit. Eason will start Sunday against the Raiders.

Travis Kirschke-DL - Steelers

Nov. 27 - 11:35 am et

Steelers DE Travis Kirschke (calf) is on track to return to game action this week after practicing again on Friday.

Ziggy Hood and Nick Eason played well in his place, vaulting the Steelers to No. 1 in the league in run defense. Once they get Troy Polamalu (knee) back, the defense will be hitting on all cylinders again.

Travis Kirschke-DL - Steelers

Nov. 15 - 11:58 am et

Steelers declared DE Travis Kirschke, CB Keiwan Ratliff, FB Carey Davis, OG Kraig Urbik, OT Tony Hills, DE Sunny Harris, WR Shaun McDonald and third QB Dennis Dixon inactive for Sunday's game against the Bengals.

Starting safety Ryan Clark resumes his role after sitting out last week due to his sickle cell trait. Disappointing receiver Limas Sweed is "up" again instead of Shaun McDonald.

Nov. 7 - 3:02 pm et

Steelers DE Travis Kirschke (calf) has been officially ruled out for Monday night's game against the Broncos.

Kirschke may not be ready for Week 10 either. Nick Eason will start, with rookies Ziggy Hood and Sunny Harris getting more playing time. The Steelers will likely be without three defensive starters Monday in Ryan Clark, Lawrence Timmons and Kirschke.

Travis Kirschke-DL - Steelers

Nov. 5 - 12:21 pm et

Steelers DE Travis Kirschke (calf) will almost certainly sit out Monday night's game in Denver.

Kirschke has a torn left calf muscle and probably won't be ready for a couple more weeks. Nick Eason will replace Kirshcke at left defensive end, where the Steelers have already lost Aaron Smith (shoulder) for the season. Rookies Ziggy Hood and Sunny Harris will also see more snaps.
