Headed into Week 9 against the Bengals, it appears the Steelers will have some needed players returning after a stint on the injury list.
Having players returning to the field is always good news. The bad news is that COVID-19 hit the Steelers this week after Vance McDonald tested positive. As a result, some players could miss this Sunday’s game if they test positive by Saturday. Unfortunately, the list includes Ben Roethlisberger.
COVID aside, Steelers fans got a scare when a pair of Cowboys defenders hit Roethlisberger shortly before the second quarter, causing him to twist his knee.
