For the second week in a row, the Pittsburgh Steelers have elevated RB Trey Sermon off the practice squad to the active roster. Sermon didn’t log any offensive snaps for the Steelers in Week 3 against the New England Patriots, but he served as one of the team’s two kick returners, along with RB Kenneth Gainwell. Sermon did not return a kick in three special teams snaps.
The team announced the move earlier today via their PR account.
Sermon’s elevation last week came after a blunder by RB Kaleb Johnson led to a touchdown by the Seattle Seahawks during the kickoff in Week 2 and Johnson was removed from kickoff duties.
