During the Pittsburgh Steelers’ off day, the team made a roster move in releasing QB Logan Woodside from the practice squad. On the surface, the most minor of moves that will have no bearing on Sunday night’s matchup against the Green Bay Packers. But it signals one of the team’s two quarterbacks currently on injured reserve, rookie Will Howard and veteran Skylar Thompson, are close to a return.
Though Pittsburgh’s only carried two quarterbacks on the 53-man roster since Thompson went to IR in early September, Woodside was the third man for practice. He was likely running scout team and helping get the team through practice, throwing during individual periods each day.
