2018 Season Breakdown:
The Pittsburgh Steelers originally signed Eli Rogers as an undrafted free agent out of Louisville in 2015, but he spent his rookie year on injured reserve after suffering a foot injury pretty early in training camp, before any preseason games had been played.
But the team liked what they saw from him by that point enough to feel comfortable carrying him on injured reserve all year rather than working out an injury settlement, so that they could retain his rights heading into 2016.
