SEATTLE
Inactives: WR Paul Richardson, CB Tye Smith, RB Marshawn Lynch, CB Cary Williams, LB Eric Pinkins, C Drew Nowak, C/G Kristjan Sokoli.
Notes: Two big surprises for the Seahawks. First, LB Bruce Irvin, who was considered doubtful because of a knee injury, is active and will give it a go. Meanwhile Williams, who started the previous 10 games before being benched mid-game last week against San Francisco, is an apparent healthy scratch as he was not listed on the injury report. Richardson (hamstring) and Lynch (abdomen) had already been ruled out because of injury. C Patrick Lewis, who was listed as questionable because of an ankle/knee injury, is active and presumably will start. CB Jeremy Lane (arm/knee) dresses for the first time this season as he was activated Saturday from the physically-unable-to-perform list.
PITTSBURGH
Inactives: QB Mike Vick, WR Sammie Coates, CB Doran Grant, RB Fitzgerald Toussaint, LB Anthony Chickillo, T Byron Stingily, DE L.T. Walton.
Notes: Pittsburgh basically has everyone from its 53-man roster available today. LB Ryan Shazier (knee) and TE Matt Spaeth (knee) were the only players considered questionable, and both are active. The Steelers, however, are without No. 1 RB Le’Veon Bell, who suffered a season-ending knee injury four weeks ago.
