A quick analysis of the game tape from yesterday reveals that Dri Archer logged zero snaps on offense for the Pittsburgh Steelers yesterday in their home opener. In the Steelers’ second opener the second-year running back logged just three snaps, all of which came on the team’s meaningless final drive, down 14 with three minutes to play.
The front office just so happens to have to make a roster move by Tuesday, when running back Le’Veon Bell’s two-game suspension expires and he is able to return to the 53-man roster.
Archer was a third-round pick just a year ago, but it is looking increasingly likely—though not guaranteed—that he could be the one who loses his roster spot in order to make room for the All-Pro back.
