It’s now officially Super Wild Card week and ahead of the Pittsburgh Steelers hosting the Cleveland Browns on Sunday at Heinz Field, the team turned in their four protected practice squad players on Tuesday.
The Week 18 list is similar to the one the team had in Week 17. The Steelers four protected practice squad players for Super Wild Card week are wide receiver Deon Cain, kicker Matthew Wright, tight end Kevin Rader and running back Wendell Smallwood. Three of those four players, Cain, Wright, and Rader, were elevated for the team’s Sunday road season finale game against the Browns and all three dressed for the contest and played.
