Kerrith Whyte may have just joined the team, but he must understand that there is a very real chance he is going to get work on offense for the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday when they face the Cincinnati Bengals. It will depend upon who else will be available at the time, but Tony Brooks-James was also used right away, even if sparingly, after he was called up from the practice squad.
Whyte’s circumstances are a bit different. The Steelers signed him off of the Chicago Bears’ practice squad, so he is entirely new to the team, whereas Brooks-James was on the practice squad for a bit prior to being promoted.
