The Steelers go into tonight's game a healthier team than two weeks ago, and that is reflected in the inactives as the team hosts the Miami Dolphins at Heinz Field.

The team's inactives include quarterback Paxton Lynch, cornerback Justin Layne, running back Jaylen Samuels, linebacker Ulysees Gilbert, offensive lineman Chuks Okorafor, tight end Zach Gentry and defensive lineman L.T. Walton.

Roosevelt Nix will be active for the first time since Week 1 of the season after he battled a football injury.

"I have been out for a couple of weeks. It just feels good," said Nix. "I love all of my teammates. I love it here and I love all of the guys. That was the hardest part about being out. I would watch the games, get nervous because I just wanted the guys to do great, everyone do great and us win.

"Things happen. The game is the game and things happen. You don't know when, where or anything. You just hope that people don't start looking at you different, wonder what is going on. But people were supportive, the team was supportive. Now I am back, and I feel good.
