Pittsburgh Steelers rookie wide receiver Tyler Murphy and first-year fullback Roosevelt Nix may likely have just temporary roster spots lasting four and two games, respectively, as superior players at their respective positions return from having served suspensions, but they are making the most of whatever time they have available to them now.
Murphy, in fact, was chosen to dress over fellow rookie third-round draft pick Sammie Coates, who like Martavis Bryant the year before him—the man serving the four-game suspension that gave Murphy his roster spot—is beginning his professional career on the inactive list.
