In the game that Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Heath Miller moved into sole possession of sixth place on the franchise’s all-time yards from scrimmage list, his exit with a rib injury may have also given us a glimpse into the not too distant future.
For the first time all season, the Steelers had all five tight ends and fullbacks on the roster both healthy and active for a game, including veteran second tight end Matt Spaeth returning from injury. Rookie Jesse James, first-year fullback Roosevelt Nix, and fourth-year fullback/tight end Will Johnson were all active, and all contributed.
