Player Notes
November 30, 2008
Week 13 inactives: QB Dennis Dixon 3rd), CB Bryant McFadden, DB Fernando Bryant, RB Najeh Davenport, LB Bruce Davis, OT Tony Hills, OT Marvel Smith, DE Brett Keisel.

Our View:Willie Parker is active and will start despite a bum knee. Mewelde Moore may need to help him out. The defensive backfield continues to be banged up without McFadden and Bryant.

Week 10 inactives: QB Dennis Dixon (3rd), CB Bryant McFadden, RB Willie Parker, LB LaMarr Woodley, T Tony Hills, OT Marvel Smith, TE Heath Miller, DE Orpheus Roye.

Our View:Ben Roethlisberger and Hines Ward are amongst the notable active players, as the Steelers had a long list of injuries this week. Mewelde Moore and Matt Spaeth are set to start, and we are waiting on definitive word at quarterback.
October 26, 2008
Week 8 inactives: QB Dennis Dixon (3rd), WR Santonio Holmes, CB Bryant McFadden, RB Willie Parker, LB Keyaron Fox, OL Tony Hills, OT Marvel Smith, DE Orpheus Roye.

Our View:Mewelde Moore and Nate Washington will start in place of Parker and Holmes. This list isn't surprising, but it's a good reminder that the Steelers are down three starters on offense.
September 21, 2008
Week 3 inactives: QB Dennis Dixon (3rd), WR Limas Sweed, CB Deshea Townsend, LB Bruce Davis, OT Tony Hills, OT Trai Essex, DE Brett Keisel, and LB Donovan Woods.

Our View:Ben Roethlisberger, James Farrior, Casey Hampton, and Chris Kemoeatu were all probable this week, and all four are active. In other words, there's nothing surprising on this list.

Dennis Dixon showed off his legs in preseason action against the Bills, as he rushed 47 yards for a touchdown, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. The quarterback ran twice for 54 yards and completed 6-of-15 passes for 79 yards, with no touchdowns or interceptions.

Our View:Dixon is competing for the No. 3 role at quarterback, and will not see the field unless injuries plague the team at the position.
