Pittsburgh Steelers left tackle Max Starks needs surgery to repair a disc injury in his neck and will miss the rest of the season.

The injury leaves the Steelers (6-2) without both of their projected starting offensive tackles. Right tackle Willie Colon is out for the season after injuring an Achilles' tendon in June.

Starks, a starter on Pittsburgh's Super Bowl-winning teams during the 2005 and 2008 seasons, was injured during a 27-21 victory over Cincinnati on Monday night. He is expected to be replaced by Jonathan Scott, a former Bills starter who has been backing up Starks and right tackle Flozell Adams.

The Steelers also activated rookie tackle Chris Scott from the physically unable to perform list. He broke a foot while working out during the summer and missed training camp.
