The Pittsburgh Steelers faithful will have to wait at least one more week for the return of popular inside linebacker Elandon Roberts.
Roberts was not elevated from the Steelers’ practice squad by the Steelers before Saturday’s deadline, meaning he will not be eligible to play in Week 8, when the Steelers host the Cleveland Browns.
The Steelers called up two others from the practice squad, signing wide receiver Brandon Smith and elevating wide receiver Brandon Johnson with a slew of injuries at wide receiver. Wide receivers Michael Pittman Jr., Roman Wilson remain on injured reserve, while Ben Skowronek is questionable to play as he attempts to return from a calf injury.
