Steelers Activate Roethlisberger, Williams, Samuels, Hawkins From Reserve/COVID-19 List

The Pittsburgh Steelers have activated four players from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Saturday, the team announced.

Activated from the list on Saturday morning were quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, inside linebacker Vince Williams, running back Jaylen Samuels and tackle Jerald Hawkins and all four players are now available to play on Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals.

All four players were added to the Reserve/COVID-19 list earlier in the week after they were deemed high-risk close contacts with tight end Vance McDonald, who returned a positive test for the virus Monday. McDonald remains on the team’s Reserve/COVID-19 list and he will not play on Sunday against the Bengals.
