The Pittsburgh Steelers are set to close out the first half of the 2021 NFL season with the final game of Week 9 as they host the Chicago Bears on Monday Night Football at Heinz Field. Ahead of the game, the Steelers have promoted tight end Kevin Rader from the practice squad.

We have elevated TE Kevin Rader to the Active/Inactive roster from the practice squad.

After tonight’s game with Chicago, Rader will automatically revert to the practice squad without having to pass through waivers.— Pittsburgh Steelers (@steelers) November 8, 2021

For the second-straight week, tight end Eric Ebron was ruled out due to injury.
