Some notes from the open period of Steelers practice:
- Ben Skowronek (calf) was back out there for the first time in two weeks. A good sign for the WR room
- Last time DeShon Elliott played a game, his knee swelled up and he was shelved on IR. Not this time, he was out there and practicing. A good sign for him
- No Cam Heyward, Jalen Ramsey, or T.J. Watt, but those guys have generally been given rest days on Wednesdays
- No Brandin Echols (hamstring). He missed last week against the Saints.

- Sep 28 Nick Farabaugh (X) Patrick Graham says Asante Samuel Jr. Jamel Dean, Brandin Echols, and Daylen Everette have all been very good in practice. He saw Everette's body type and athleticism as more natural for the matchup with Tee Higgins. Doesn't necessarily mean Samuel won't start Thursday.
- Sep 28 Nick Farabaugh (X) The Steelers' options if both are out: 1. Try Asante Samuel Jr. in the slot. The coaching staff had said they could see him in there potentially this summer. 2. Bring Doneiko Slaughter up to the active roster and start him in the slot. He was the third nickel cornerback this summer · Quoting Nick Farabaugh: This is notable. Brandin Echols is also in the concussion protocol and that likely all but rules him out for Thursday's game. We'll see if Ramsey can play, but if he can't, the Steelers will likely be down both slot cornerbacks.

- Aug 30 Nick Farabaugh (X) That being said, safety has to be a concern for the Steelers right now. Maybe they move Ramsey to play full time safety for the time being, but that would throw a wrench in the whole slot cornerback idea. Brandin Echols seems to be healthy from his ankle injury, so he *is* a capable slot cornerback starter if they needed that.

- Aug 30 Nick Farabaugh (X) The key players who were on the bubble that made it: - They carry 3 true TEs with Nowakowski as a FB / TE with Tonyan - Eli Heidenreich appears to have won the RB3 job - 9 OL, but very interior heavy. Probably need an OT in there - 2 young DL from this class, Gabriel Rubio and Kevin Jobity Jr., find a way onto the roster - Both Jenkins and Spears-Jennings make it due to Elliott going to IR. Safety has to be a position they'll look at on the waiver / trade market potentially · Quoting Nick Farabaugh: Steelers' 53-man roster: QBs: Aaron Rodgers, Mason Rudolph, Will Howard, Drew Allar RBs: Jaylen Warren, Rico Dowdle, Eli Heidenreich WRs: DK Metcalf, Michael Pittman Jr., Roman Wilson, Germie Bernard, Kaden Wetjen, Ben Skowronek TEs/FB: Pat Freiermuth, Darnell Washington, Robert Tonyan, Riley Nowakowski OL: Troy Fautanu, Mason McCormick, Zach Frazier, Spencer Anderson, Brock Hoffman, Dylan Cook, Max Iheanachor, Ryan McCollum, Gennings Dunker DL: Cam Heyward, Derrick Harmon,…
