Fichter Calls 5WR Set ‘A Change-Up’ To Get Other Positions Rest

The Pittsburgh Steelers made the decision following Justin Hunter’s injury to start the practice window clock for fourth-year wide receiver Eli Rogers. He was activated to the 53-man roster from the PUP List two weeks ago tomorrow, and since then, offensive coordinator Randy Fichtner and the rest of the decision-makers have taken it upon themselves to introduce the 00 personnel package into the offense.

Having already expanded into four-receiver sets from the outset of the year, the Steelers have been making significant use of having five wide receivers on the field at the same time over the course of the past two weeks.
