Woodley Ruled Out for Sunday’s Matchup in Cincinnati

The Steelers have ruled linebacker LaMarr Woodley out for a second consecutive game with a hamstring injury.

Woodley earned AFC Defensive Player of the Month honors in October after recording 25 tackles, 7.5 quarterback sacks and an interception in five games, most of which coming after fellow outside linebacker James Harrison went down with an eye injury.

In addition to Woodley, the Steelers will be without wide receiver Arnaz Battle and Emmanuel Sanders on Sunday.
