The Saints and Steelers released their list of inactives for today's game a few minutes ago. New Orleans takes on Pittsburgh this morning at 8:30 a.m. CT at the Stade de France in Saint Denis, a suburb of Paris.
No real surprises on this list for New Orleans.
Both Ruiz and Shepherd were listed on the final injury report released on Friday by the Saints as questionable. So that means all who were on the Friday injury list, except those two, are ready to play today.
Pittsburgh released their inactives for the game as well, with no surprises for them.
Wide receiver Ben Skowronek
Quarterback Drew Allar
Quarterback Will Howard (emergency quarterback)
Cornerback Brandin Echols
Running back Eli Heidenreich
Cornerback Terell Smith
