The Steelers wanted to take a longer look at running back Knile Davis against the Indianapolis Colts. And, even though he has spent five years in the NFL, he was eager to show his new teammates what he can do with the first-team offense.
Each wasted little time doing so.
Davis touched the ball three times on the first four plays — rushing twice for 21 yards and catching a 9-yard pass — and was the intended target of quarterback Ben Roethlisberger on the other.
The Steelers got a quick assessment of what he might be able to provide as one of the backups for Le’Veon Bell.
