Series Steelers lead the series 1–0–1 after meeting No. 2 since 1999 Full series history
Atlanta will play Sunday night without its veteran edge rusher, who has concussion and neck injuries, and lost a linebacker to injured reserve on the eve of Baltimore's visit.
Mike McCarthy said the second-year defensive lineman will miss at least four games, another loss for a Pittsburgh defense already without cornerback Jamel Dean.
Pittsburgh adds a veteran with 65 career starts after trading Joey Porter Jr. and losing Jamel Dean to an ankle injury in Cleveland.
