For anybody who has actually been following Randy Fichtner’s weekly Thursday interviews, you may have noticed that the Pittsburgh Steelers’ offensive coordinator has been taking time for the past few weeks now to go out of his way to bring up Eli Rogers, who at the time was still on the Physically Unable to Perform List.
Even last week he talked about the fourth-year wide receiver and how he was getting reps in practice with Ben Roethlisberger and the first-team offense, but because it was not up to him to activate him to the 53-man roster, he was hesitant to say anything much further.
