For the third straight week, the Pittsburgh Steelers did not activate RB Anthony McFarland Jr. from injured reserve to the team’s 53-man roster. Meaning, he will not play in tonight’s game against the Tennessee Titans.
Due to a knee injury, McFarland has been on IR since Week Two after appearing in the team’s opener against San Francisco. Pittsburgh opened his practice window on October 16, the same day as WR Diontae Johnson, but McFarland’s progress has been much slower. Johnson returned to the 53 almost immediately, activated for the team’s Week Seven win over the Los Angeles Rams.
