Contrary to what anyone might be telling you, Pittsburgh Steelers center Maurkice Pouncey is not eligible for the Reserve/PUP after breaking a bone in his leg in Sunday’s preseason win over the Green Bay Packers.
Now that we have that misnomer out of the way, you should know that the Steelers really only have two options with Pouncey moving forward. The first and most unlikely option for the Steelers would be to carry Pouncey on the 53 man roster until he’s healthy enough to play again.
The second option, and the one the Steelers are likely to choose, includes them placing Pouncey on injured reserve with the designated to return tag.
