PITTSBURGH — Pittsburgh Steelers left guard Kevin Dotson and outside linebacker Malik Reed are both active for the team’s Week 10 game against the New Orleans Saints at Acrisure Stadium
Dotson suffered an abdominal injury in practice on Friday, while Reed had been away from the team for personal reasons this week. Both players were officially listed as questionable.
