INDIANAPOLIS — The Steelers will be without a few key contributors against the Indianapolis Colts on Monday night. Linebacker Robert Spillane will miss the game with a back injury. It is the first game that Spillane will miss this season after playing in all of the games this season. As the team’s starting dimebacker and a key rotational piece, it will see Devin Bush and Myles Jack play more. Mark Robinson could see some snaps as a result.
Meanwhile, Miles Boykin is out with an oblique injury. One of the team’s key gunners and special teams players, Boykin also provides depth at outside receiver. Cody White was elevated to help fill in the depth. He registered four special teams tackles a season ago at the gunner.
Jaylen Warren (Hamstring) and Ahkello Witherspoon (Hamstring) will remain out after being listed as such. Witherspoon has now missed three straight games out of the bye week, while Warren will miss his first game after suffering the injury early on against the Cincinnati Bengals. The Steelers elevated Anthony McFarland to help the backfield with Warren out for the game.
