Who will the Steelers activate from IR, and who will they replace?
After the Steelers’ Week 4 win over the Vikings, three players on the Reserve/Injured List (IR) are eligible to return. While they are not obligated to bring any back, at least two stand a fair chance. The three players now eligible are two rookies, QB Will Howard and CB Donte Kent, and CB Cory Trice Jr.
The Steelers have played the last three games without an emergency quarterback, with both Howard and Skylar Thompson on IR. Thompson served that role in Week 1 but isn’t eligible to return until after Week 6.
