The Steelers are set to have a “bonus” Monday practice today, but will rookie QB Will Howard take the field with them? On the Reserve/Injured list since the start of the season, he is now eligible to practice. Given that the team doesn’t currently have a third quarterback, but does have an open roster spot, it’s certainly possible.
One thing that will not be a barrier to Howard’s participation is Howard himself. Speaking to Chris Adamski of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, he declared himself healthy and ready—and eager. “I’m feeling really good right now and really feeling good about the change to my body and where I’m at there”, he said, noting that he’s lost 10 pounds.
