It looks like the Pittsburgh Steelers are close to getting some reinforcements on offense.
Rookie fourth-round draft pick Calvin Austin III, currently on injured reserve, will return to practice Wednesday at the UPMC Rooney Sports Complex on the South Side, opening his 21-day window to return from Injured Reserve, he stated to the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review’s Chris Adamski Wednesday, according to a tweet from the beat reporter.
Austin’s return to practice Wednesday will be the first action, that we know of, dating back to August 12 in training camp, when he originally injured his foot, eventually leading to him landing on IR with the designation to return after the Steelers announced the 53-man roster in September.
