Peyton Hillis, Alex Mack are good to go. Robaire Smith is out.
Peyton Hillis will be in the starting lineup at fullback, and the offensive line will have Floyd Womack and Tony Pashos as starters for today's game.PITTSBURGH, Pa. -- The good news for Colt McCoy is that all his supporting pieces on offense are in place.
The Browns formally announced McCoy the starting quarterback for today's game. At the same time, they confirmed center Alex Mack, right guard Floyd Womack, right tackle Tony Pashos and running back Peyton Hillis will be in their starting positions, as well. Mack, Womack and Hillis each missed time with injuries in the practice week.
Here are the Browns' inactives: Quarterbacks Seneca Wallace and Jake Delhomme, receiver Carlton Mitchell, offensive linemen Shawn Lauvao and John St. Clair, tight end Alex Smith and defensive linemen Jayme Mitchell and Robaire Smith. There is no designated third quarterback.
To account for Smith's absence on the defensive front, Kenyon Coleman will move to left end and Brian Schaefering will start at right end.
McCoy is the first Browns quarterack in history to make his NFL debut against the Steelers. The last time the Steelers broke in a quarterback from an Ohio team was in 1992 when they faced Bengals rookie David Klingler.
They sacked him 10 times.
