Keeanu Benton Returns To Practice, Nate Herbig Sitting Out With Shoulder Injury

Four days after suffering an ankle injury that knocked him from his preseason debut against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, rookie nose tackle Keeanu Benton returned to practice Tuesday for the Pittsburgh Steelers at Saint Vincent College in Latrobe.

According to Steelers Depot’s own Alex Kozora, Benton was in full pads Tuesday and hit Chuck Noll Field for the padded practice with no limitations, though Kozora is reporting that Benton has his right ankle taped in practice.

Really good news here. Rookie NT Keeanu Benton is in full pads after suffering a minor ankle injury in Friday's game.
