The Pittsburgh Steelers are getting a massive boost with the return of three players, including standout center Zach Frazier, who’s expected to make his comeback after a left ankle injury that kept him out for a few weeks ¹. Frazier’s return is huge for the Steelers, as he’s been a key player in their offense.
*Returning Players:*
– _Zach Frazier_: The standout center is expected to return after a left ankle injury ¹.
– _Nick Herbig_: The outside linebacker is pushing for a return from a right hamstring injury ¹.
– _Damontae Kazee_: The free safety is day-to-day with an ankle injury, but his return will bolster the Steelers’ defense ¹.
Coach Mike Tomlin has expressed his excitement about getting these players back, saying, “There’s always two sides to the injury coin, and I just always try to make a point to our team regarding it” ¹. The Steelers’ roster has taken some hits this season, but with these players returning, they’ll be looking to make a strong push in the second half of the season.
The Steelers’ practice squad has also seen some changes, with the addition of players like Johh Rhys Plumlee, Jonathan Ward, and Thomas Graham ². These moves will help deepen the Steelers’ bench and provide more options for Coach Tomlin.
With their roster getting healthier and deeper, the Steelers will look to keep their momentum going. They’re currently 6-2 and sitting atop the AFC North ³. The return of Frazier, Herbig, and Kazee will be a big boost as they head into the second half of the season.
*Upcoming Schedule:*
– Week 9: @ Washington Commanders
– Week 10: vs. Cincinnati Bengals
– Week 11: @ Baltimore Ravens
The Steelers will face some tough opponents in the coming weeks, but with their returning players and strengthened roster, they’ll be looking to stay on top of the division.
