At his weekly press conference on Tuesday, Coach Mike Tomlin addressed the different personnel moves that were made earlier in the day. In ruling James Conner out for this Sunday, the team promoted running back Trey Edmunds from the practice squad and placed Justin Hunter on injured reserve.
When Coach Tomlin was asked if Eli Rogers was a possibility to return with Hunter going on the IR, he initially asked if anyone had tweeted about it, making light of the situation when Ola Adeniyi tweeted about his return to practice.
