Anthony McFarland Jr. has had a good camp. And if any internal Pittsburgh Steeler is going to become the team’s third-string running back, it’s him. The competition we thought would play out this summer never materialized. Still, McFarland’s spot to the 53-man roster isn’t written in pen. If he returns a kick back for a long run tonight, that could obviously change. Even he admitted how much this final game means to his roster chances.
Still, the team may look for someone who fits the team’s more traditional mold of the third stringer. Bigger. Special teams value.
