The Pittsburgh Steelers’ rookie class was almost in full force for the first time in Week 11. Even Will Howard got a helmet as the emergency third quarterback after being activated from IR last week. Only seventh-round CB Donte Kent is still missing from the lineup on IR.
Despite most being present, it was a light week for the rookies overall. A couple players played their lowest snap counts of the season in the Steelers’ 34-12 win over the Bengals. Some of that has to do with the Steelers living in their nickel defense for most of the game against the Bengals’ potent passing offense.
