The Pittsburgh Steelers have now named their four protected practice squad players for Week 11 and the list once again includes players very familiar to it.
The Tuesday list of Steelers protected practice players for Week 11 includes wide receiver Deon Cain, running back Wendell Smallwood, rookie safety Antoine Brooks Jr., the team’s sixth-round draft pick this year out of Maryland, and tight end Kevin Rader. All four players have been on this list multiple times now as Week 10 was Rader’s first time on it.
Brooks, who was signed to the Steelers Active/Inactive roster on Saturday under the COVID-19 Replacement designation, reverted to the team’s practice squad on Monday.
