Do the Steelers plan to redshirt Will Howard and keep him on IR all season?
On Thursday, the Steelers added rookie QB Will Howard to the Reserve/Injured List, joining three others on IR with return eligibility. Unlike Cory Trice Jr., however, he doesn’t already have a return designation. In fact, the Steelers explicitly waited to move him so they didn’t have to use one of eight slots.
Pittsburgh is happy with what it has seen from Skylar Thompson, carrying him into the season as their third quarterback. He sits behind Aaron Rodgers and Mason Rudolph, with Howard still attending meetings while on IR.
