PITTSBURGH — We knew Ryan Switzer (back) and Roosevelt Nix (knee) wouldn't play Thursday night against the Browns in Cleveland — and now they're both headed to the Steelers' reserve/injured list, the team announced.
In a concurrent move, the Steelers promoted wide receiver Tevin Jones and signed linebacker Jayrone Elliott to the 53-man roster.
After averaging 8.4 yards-per-punt-return and 20.2 yards-per-kick-return in 2018, Switzer's numbers took a hit in 2019. In nine games, Switzer's had eight punt returns for 29 yards, just 3.6 yards-per-return with a long of 13 yards. His kick returns took a similar dive, as he has averaged just 18.4 yards-per-return in 2019.
