The Steelers have not opened the practice window for either QBs Will Howard or Skylar Thompson. Don’t expect that to change, Gerry Dulac says, unless it has to change. In very un-Steelers-like fashion, Pittsburgh has gone most of the season with just two quarterbacks on the 53-man roster. They do have a third healthy quarterback, though, with Logan Woodside on the practice squad.
Will Howard, the Steelers’ sixth-round rookie, injured his hand shortly before preseason play began. They put him on the Reserve/Injured List, doing so after initial cuts, which is a key distinction.
