The Steelers have ruled Willie Parker (sprained knee) out for the Monday game against the Ravens and the Associated Press says he "seems likely" to miss the Week 5 matchup against the Jaguars.

With a Week 6 bye, the Steelers could decide to rest Parker for three weeks and try and get him ready for the Bengals the following week. Rashard Mendenhall will start and is expected to see the lion share of the carries, but the tough matchups make him a low-end RB2 or flex option this week. Melwede Moore will continue to work as the third-down back and could have a slight uptick with touches.
