The Pittsburgh Steelers are promoting wide receiver from the practice squad to the active roster for Sunday’s game against the Denver Broncos. This marks the second consecutive game He has been elevated.
In the previous game against the Atlanta Falcons, He saw limited action on offense but played a significant role on special teams as a gunner on punt coverage. Alongside cornerback Darius Rush, he started as one of the team’s gunners. His strong coverage on Chris Boswell’s punt was key in holding the return to just one yard.
This move suggests that rookie wide receiver Roman Wilson is likely to miss his second game in a row. Wilson, who suffered a high ankle sprain in July, was downgraded in practice, going from a full participant on Thursday to a limited participant on Friday.
The Steelers are expected to activate five wide receivers for the game, with His filling the fifth spot. Since this is His second elevation from the practice squad, and players are limited to three such elevations per year, the team may consider adding him to the active roster permanently to avoid future restrictions on his game eligibility.
