Other Receivers Expected To Become A Factor In Run Game, Matt Canada Says

During Sunday’s Week 1 over the Cincinnati Bengals, wide receiver Chase Claypool was the Pittsburgh Steelers’ leading rusher with six carries for 36 yards. He was the only receiver to get carries in the game, but offensive coordinator Matt Canada said other receivers could see touches on jet sweep plays going forward.

“Some of it was just the formation and we’re always talking matchups and things like that. There are certain reasons in a game why it is that we’ve got different guys that can run jets at different times. In that game, the way we kind of had it, you can’t run every play every game.
