In Week 5, the Pittsburgh Steelers will play on Sunday Night Football against the (2-2) Jacksonville Jaguars at 8:30 PM ET on NBCHD.

The Steelers are also dealing with injury to their Pro Bowl RB Willie Parker, which may miss a second week in a row with a sprained ankle. Fourth-string running back Mewelde Moore may have to start once again if Parker can’t go this week. According to coach Mike Tomlin, Kendall Simmons suffered a torn right Achilles, and Rashard Mendenhall a fractured left shoulder. They’ll both be placed on injured reserve, and are will not be returning this season. "Our competitors, it has been well documented, a lot of those guys have suffered devastating injuries," Tomlin said. "It is only devastating if you allow it to be. People are not concerned with our problems, they are probably happy that we have them. We will address them and get ready to play." The OVER/UNDER for this Steelers at Jaguars Sunday Night Football Game has been set at a combined total of 36 points.
