Now that the 16-man practice squad is set (for now) and the initial 53-man roster is complete, the Pittsburgh Steelers under GM Omar Khan can start to maneuver and deal in some roster manipulation with rookie QB Will Howard and rookie CB Donte Kent.
According to Pat McAfee Show correspondent Mark Kaboly, the Steelers are set to place both Howard and Kent on Injured Reserve, and will re-sign veteran safety Chuck Clark and interior offensive lineman Max Scharping. If Howard and Kent are placed on Injured Reserve and be Designated to return, they would need to miss at least the first four weeks, including the season opener against the New York Jets, Week 2 against the Seattle Seahawks, Week 3 against the New England Patriots, and the Week 4 Ireland game against the Minnesota Vikings.
