Every week we bring you all the inactives from the 1 p.m. ET games in one post, constantly updated with the latest information.
A report on Sunday morning indicated that wide receiver George Pickens would play for the Steelers against the Browns on Sunday afternoon, but things turned out differently.
Pickens is inactive due to the hamstring injury that led to his addition to the injury report on Friday. Pickens was listed as questionable and his absence will be a significant one for the Steelers as they try to take another step toward winning the AFC North title.
Mike Williams, Van Jefferson, Calvin Austin, Scotty Miller, and Ben Skowronek will be the wideouts for Pittsburgh.

The Eagles won’t have to worry about edge rusher Jadeveon Clowney on Sunday.
Clowney was listed as questionable with a knee injury on Friday and head coach Dave Canales expressed optimism about his chances of playing in Philly, but things took a turn for the worse on Saturday. The Panthers announced that Clowney has been ruled out.
D.J. Wonnum, DJ Johnson, Cam Gill, and Amaré Barno will be the options on the edge for Carolina.
The Panthers also announced that they have ruled out safety Nick Scott (hamstring,personal), so he will remain on injured reserve. They elevated wide receiver Dan Chisena and linebacker Jacoby Windmon from the practice squad to round out the day’s moves.
It must be boring to be rich.
Someone with money to burn has wagered $3.1 million on the Eagles to beat the Panthers on Sunday. Via ESPN.com, the bettor in Kentucky placed the beat at Circa Sports, at -700 odds.
That means the bettor is wagering $700 to win $100.
In this case, a Philly win would result in roughly $442,800.
The bet prompted the sports book to move the odds to -870. And it pushed Panthers odds to +650.
“I told my guys in the risk room to go to work and get some buyback on the Panthers,” Circa Sports owner Derek Stevens told ESPN.com on Friday. “With us being in five states now, we should have the liquidity to get enough buyback to where we end up needing the Eagles.”
Even if the Eagles win, as they should, is it worth spending three hours worrying about losing $3.1 million? And for what?
If the person can put up $3.1 million, what’s $442,800?
Hopefully the bet was made by someone who is really rich, and not someone who thinks it’s easy money. There’s no such thing. Over time, it all evens out.
Over time, the sports books win. And if anyone cracks the code on how to consistently beat the sports books, the sports books stop letting them bet.
Receiver DeVonta Smith will be back for Sunday’s game against the Panthers.
Smith is officially off the injury report with no game status and is set to play in Week 14.
Smith hasn’t played since the Week 11 win over the Commanders, sidelined by a hamstring injury. Even before the final report came out on Friday, Smith had said he was playing.
“Count me in,” Smith said, via multiple reporters. Smith noted he was pushing to play last week but the team held him out.
In nine games this season, Smith has caught 41 passes for 516 yards with four touchdowns.
Cornerback Darius Slay (concussion) is also set to return after missing last week’s game.
But tight end Dallas Goedert (knee), safety Reed Blankenship (concussion), safety Sydney Brown (knee), and receiver Britain Covey (neck) are all out.
Offensive lineman Mekhi Becton (knee/rest) and receiver Johnny Wilson (hamstring) are both off the injury report and are set to play.
The Panthers are set to be without wide receiver Jalen Coker against the Eagles on Sunday.
Coker has missed the last two games with a quad injury and he is listed as doubtful to play this weekend. Coker has 17 catches for 263 yards on the season and nine of the catches for 155 yards and Coker’s only touchdown came after quarterback Bryce Young’s return to the lineup.
Linebacker Jadeveon Clowney (knee) remained out practice on Friday and he is listed as questionable.
Right guard Robert Hunt (back), linebacker Josey Jewell (hamstring), tight end Ja’Tavion Sanders (neck), linebacer D.J. Wonnum (knee), cornerback Caleb Farley (shoulder), and safety Nick Scott (hamstring, personal) are also listed as questionable.
