The Pittsburgh Steelers have now named their four protected practice squad players for Week 10 and the list once again includes three players familiar to it and one new one, a tight end.
The Tuesday list of Steelers protected practice players for Week 10 includes wide receiver Deon Cain, running back Wendell Smallwood, rookie safety Antoine Brooks Jr., the team’s sixth-round draft pick this year out of Maryland, and tight end Kevin Rader.
Cain and Brooks have both elevated to the Steelers Active/Inactive roster this season. Brooks was elevated his second and final time this past Saturday for the Sunday game against the Dallas Cowboys.
