The Pittsburgh Steelers have now identified their protected practice squad players for Week 9, and this week’s list includes a tight end.
Protected by the Steelers on their practice squad for Week 9 were defensive back Karl Joseph, wide receiver Anthony Miller and tight end Kevin Rader. The Steelers did not list a fourth protected practice squad player this week.
As for Joseph, this makes the seventh consecutive week that he has been chosen as a protected practice squad player. Joseph was elevated to the Steelers Active/Inactive gameday roster ahead of the team’s Week 5 game and ultimately played a few defensive snaps in that contest.
