The Pittsburgh Steelers have now identified their protected practice squad players for Week 8 and this week’s list is exactly the same as the Week 6 list.
Protected by the Steelers on their practice squad for Week 8 were outside linebacker Taco Charlton, defensive back Karl Joseph, wide receiver Steven Sims and wide receiver Anthony Miller. Those four players were the four that the team protected in Week 6. The team did not have to protect practice squad players last week on their bye week.
Charlton has been protected by the Steelers every week since he was signed to the practice squad several weeks ago.
