Darrius Heyward-Bey inactive vs. Steelers
Wide receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey will be inactive for the Oakland Raiders today in their match-up against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
The team disclosed late Friday that the rookie had a foot injury and today, they listed him as out. Louis Murphy will start in his place. He leads all receivers on the the team in receptions (19) and yards (283).
Murphy lost his starting spot when Chaz Schilens came back from a broken foot. Heyward-Bey had started all 11-games, but has struggled all season posting a meager 9-catches for 124 yards and 1 score.
Greg Ellis will also sit today with a knee injury and he will be replaced in the line-up by rookie Matt Shaughnessy.
Todd Watkins will be active and for the seventh time in 12 games, Javon Walker will be on the sidelines in street clothes.
