Steelers cornerback Joe Haden ruled out against Bengals
Cornerback Joe Haden will miss his second game in a row Sunday when the Pittsburgh Steelers face the Cincinnati Bengals at Paul Brown Stadium.
Haden was listed as questionable coming off the practice week, but he was downgraded Saturday. He will be replaced by James Pierre in the starting lineup as the Steelers try to avoid a third consecutive loss to Cincinnati.
It will be the third game Haden has missed his year. He injured his foot in the first quarter of the Steelers game against the Detroit Lions.
Haden was limited in practice Thursday and Friday.
