To clear up a roster spot for newly acquired TE Nick Vannett, Xavier Grimble is heading to injured reserve, per the team. According to the Steelers website, Grimble suffered a calf injury late in Sunday’s loss to the San Francisco 49ers.
“The Steelers placed tight end Xavier Grimble on the reserve/injured list not long after the team traded for Seahawks tight end Nick Vennett. Grimble suffered a calf injury in Sunday’s game against the San Francisco 49ers and replaced by Zach Gentry, with Vance McDonald already sidelined with a shoulder injury suffered in game.
