Though the focus of this week is on the Pittsburgh Steelers’ Week 9 win over the Chicago Bears, there’s a longer-term story worth talking about. Hours before kickoff for Monday’s game, Steelers’ President Art Rooney II spoke with Sirius’ Jim Miller and Pat Kirwan on Movin’ The Chains for an always insightful interview about the team and the state of the game. Before the interview wrapped up, Rooney was asked if the league’s 16-man practice squads, expanded due to COVID, will remain for years to come.
“We’ve now done it for two years. I think it’d be hard to go backwards from it now,” Rooney told the show.
