Nix (knee) is ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Rams, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nix managed to play through his lingering knee injury during Pittsburgh's last two contests, but he wasn't able to practice in any capacity this week and won't suit up Sunday. With Nix unavailable as a blocker and James Conner (knee) and Benny Snell (knee) both ruled out, the Steelers' rushing attack could struggle versus Los Angeles.
