Week 2 of the 2013-14 regular season comes to an end on Monday Night when the Pittsburgh Steelers take on the division rival Cincinnati Bengals on ESPN. While both teams are hoping to avoid an 0-2 start to the season, there will be plenty of key players that will be forced to watch the game from the sideline.
The Steelers will be without Cortez Allen and Curtis Brown in the secondary, so rookie Shamarko Thomas will need to step up and play a much bigger role for the team as they try to shut down A.J. Green.
For Cincinnati, there are no big surprises, but fullback Orson Charles will be out of action so the team could struggle to establish the running game.
