The Pittsburgh Steelers have activated WR Eli Rogers from the PUP List today, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, who sent out this tweet moments ago.

Rogers has been on PUP since the start of the year, recovering from the torn ACL he suffered in January’s playoff loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Rogers had reportedly received first-team work during the week.
Though the Steelers could’ve waited until after this weekend to make a decision on him, an ankle injury to Ryan Switzer may have sped up the timetable.
