No Big Snack? No Big Juicy? What's Going On Here?

Casey Hampton and Aaron Smith are out.
It definitely would be tough to play nose tackle with a bum shoulder, so-o-o-o ... Steelers nose tackle Casey Hampton, also known as "Big Snack," will miss tomorrow's game vs. the Tennessee Titans. As reported on ProFootballTalk, Hampton is one of six injured Steelers ruled out of the game. Hampton has a shoulder injury sustained last Sunday in Houston. Both Chris Hoke and Steve McLendon will play in Hampton's place.

Also missing from the defense will be Aaron Smith, James Harrison and Jason Worilds. And, as if the offensive line didn't have enough discontinuity, it will be without starting left guard Chris Kemoeatu (also known as "Big Juicy"). Also missing the game will be running back Mewelde Moore. With starter Rashard Mendenhall still listed as questionable, Isaac Redman will get most of the carries.
