PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Steelers are getting some help at tight end going into Thursday's game against the Baltimore Ravens.
The Steelers (10-0) activated veteran Vance McDonald from the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday morning, filling a significant need after backup tight end Zach Gentry went down with a knee injury against Jacksonville on Sunday, leaving the Steelers with one healthy tight end, Eric Ebron, for most of the game.
The Steelers (10-0) placed Gentry, a 2019 fifth-round pick, on injured reserve in a flurry of moves Tuesday morning that also included elevating practice squad tight end Kevin Rader to the active roster.
