The Pittsburgh Steelers lost one wide receiver for the season a week ago after Justin Hunter suffered a torn labrum, leaving them with five on the 53-man roster, including Darrius Heyward-Bey. Heyward-Bey is scarcely used on offense and is primarily featured as a top performer on a number of special teams units.
It’s possible that they could be getting one receiver back this week, however, if Head Coach Mike Tomlin chooses to activate Eli Rogers from the Physically Unable to Perform List. Offensive coordinator Randy Fichtner confirmed that the fourth-year player is healthy after practicing for a few weeks now and that he has gotten some work with Ben Roethlisberger and the first-team offense.
