Steelers Might Let Rookie RB Tony Brooks-James Return Kickoffs Against Rams

Will the Pittsburgh Steelers have someone else other than wide receiver Ryan Switzer returning kickoffs Sunday at Heinz Field against the Los Angeles Rams? It certainly seems like there’s a possibility of that happening, according to what rookie running Tony Brooks-James indicated this week.

Brooks-James, who was promoted to the Steelers 53-man roster from the team’s practice squad last Saturday, said this past week that he has practiced some as a kickoff returner since being signed originally.

“Me and Coach have talked about it a little and in practice I have done it a little bit,” Brooks-James said earlier in the week, according to Chris Adamski of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.
