Steelers promote TE from the practice squad ahead of Week 5

The Pittsburgh Steelers announced several roster moves Wednesday, including the promotion of TE Rodney Williams from the practice squad to the active roster ahead of Week 5’s game against the Baltimore Ravens. They’ve also made two additions to the practice squad, including re-signing WR Dez Fitzpatrick and TE Noah Gindorff.

The promotion of Williams to the active roster comes in anticipation of starter Pat Freiermuth being likely to miss Week 5, as Mike Tomlin noted him as “very doubtful” after suffering a hamstring injury against the Texans. Initial reports noted that Freiermuth was likely to miss 2-3 weeks, which means fans could see him return following the Week 6 bye.
