Linebacker Terrell Suggs, however, was active for Baltimore. He strained his right shoulder in the Ravens' 13-10 win over the Tennessee Titans and missed every practice leading up to Sunday's game.
Rolle has not practiced since being injured against the Titans. He was replaced in the starting lineup Sunday by Frank Walker.
All other starters from both teams were expected to play.
Besides Rolle, Baltimore's inactives were: linebackers Antwan Barnes and Robert McCune; offensive linemen Oniel Cousins and David Hale; wide receiver Terrance Copper; and running back Jalen Parmele. Todd Bauman was the third quarterback.
Pittsburgh's inactives were: offensive linemen Tony Hills and Jason Capizzi; defensive tackle Scott Paxson; defensive end Orpheus Roye; cornerback Fernando Bryant; and safety Anthony Smith. Dennis Dixon was the No. 3 quarterback.
