The Pittsburgh Steelers made one transaction on Saturday and it’s one that isn’t totally unexpected.
According to the team on Saturday, running back Trey Edmunds has been elevated to the active roster from the practice squad.
Edmunds, who has been on the Steelers practice squad all season, will now likely dress on Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles and play on specials teams. His promotion from the practice squad was needed with Steelers fullback Derek Watt being ruled out for Sunday’s game with a hamstring injury.
Last season, Edmunds, the brother of Steelers safety Terrell Edmunds, registered 6 total special teams tackles.
