The Steelers placed rookie QB Will Howard on the Reserve/Injured List on Thursday, but when will we see him off IR? Multiple beat writers suggest he might spend the entire year there, and there’s a good case for it. Although it’s not optimal for his development, Pittsburgh’s priority until February is winning games.
“I definitely think it’s a possibility”, Ray Fittipaldo of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette said on 93.7 The Fan yesterday when asked whether the Steelers might leave Will Howard on IR all season. The rookie broke the pinky of his throwing hand shortly before the first preseason game.
