PITTSBURGH (AP) — The Pittsburgh Steelers secondary is hurting ahead of a visit by Indianapolis on Sunday. Pittsburgh placed starting safety DeShon Elliott on injured reserve on Friday with a knee injury. The team then ruled out backups Jabrill Peppers (quadriceps) and Chuck Clark (illness), leaving the NFL's worst pass defense in a tight spot as it prepares for the league's top-ranked offense.
