At some point Wednesday, the Steelers will announce the activation of Anthony McFarland off the injured reserve list.
Who stays on the 53-man roster to make room for the second-year running back and who goes remains to be seen -- though it's not guaranteed to be a running back who goes.
One thing that is not in doubt is that the Steelers could use a boost in production from their running backs not named Najee Harris as they head into Sunday's showdown with the Browns in Cleveland.
Benny Snell and Kalen Ballage have combined for 14 carries for 36 yards playing limited snaps to spell Harris, the team's first-round draft pick.
