Not that it comes as much of a surprise given that he was listed as the team’s returner when the depth chart was released this morning, but Mike Tomlin confirmed in his press conference today that Steven Sims will be the Steelers’ returner on Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, assuming he’s healthy.
“We expect him to be healthy, and if healthy, he’s going to be our return man,” Tomlin said via the team’s YouTube channel.
Sims suffered an eye injury before Sunday’s game which resulted in James Pierre attempting to field the Buffalo Bills’ first kickoff of the game.
