Maroon stayed back in Tampa to be with his wife for the birth of their child on Monday but joined his team in Pittsburgh and is expected to play Tuesday. There's no indication who will be scratched to make room for him.
Maroon and his wife just had a baby, so Alex Barre-Boulet will replace him in the bottom-6 on Monday. This will also make Maroon questionable for Tuesday's game in Pittsburgh.
