| Berhe on injured reserve Sean Davis Jersey , promote Brian Allen from practice squad The Pittsburgh Steelers secondary is a work in progress, and it continues to evolve throughout the course of the 2018 regular season. Sometimes a change is made due to performance on the field, and other times injuries can impact the depth chart.This is the case for offeseason free agent acquisition Nat Berhe, who was placed on Injured Reserve (IR) Tuesday after injuring his pectoral muscle in the Steelers’ Sunday night loss to the Baltimore Ravens in Week 4.With Berhe heading to IR, the Steelers promoted cornerback Brian Allen to the active roster.Allen spent his entire rookie season on the active roster in 2017, although often a gameday inactive, but was released at the end of training camp only to be re-signed to the practice squad days later.The Steelers’ secondary now has a different feel to it. Morgan Burnett is often injured Ramon Foster Jersey , Mike Hilton is working his way back from injury, and Coty Sensabaugh and Artie Burns are having a battle at the outside linebacker position opposite Joe Haden. Berhe, who is a safety, played primarily special teams, but had been thrust into the lineup with the absence of Burnett. It should be noted how the Steelers didn’t promote rookie Marcus Allen, a safety, but chose Allen instead. Allen does have great size and speed for the cornerback position Vince Williams Jersey , but has always been considered extremely raw and inexperienced.Stay tuned to BTSC for the latest on this situation, and others surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers. PITTSBURGH (AP) — Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown isn’t worried about hard feelings lingering whenever running back Le’Veon Bell decides to show up.Brown defended Bell on Friday after several teammates expressed frustration that the All-Pro has yet to sign his franchise tender and rejoin the club, meaning he will be out of the lineup on Sunday when the defending AFC North champions open the season in Cleveland.“No one wins when the family feuds,” Brown said. “At the end of the day, we’re a family. If he’s here or he’s not, we want the best for him. That’s what it’s all about. It’s not about pointing fingers and fighting amongst each other. We’re a core group that should respect and love each other regardless of the situation.”Brown posted a picture on Instagram on Thursday of him and Bell celebrating a touchdown. The All-Pro receiver added the caption “we all we got, we all we need Zach Gentry Pittsburgh Steelers Jersey , ready to roll whenever you get back with us.”Brown insisted he’s ready to roll too after skipping all four preseason games in part because of a quadriceps injury. He is 90 yards away from becoming the fifth active player with 10,000 career yards receiving and is coming off his NFL-record fifth straight season of at least 100 receptions.“Obviously, it’s been a rough preseason for me but I’m excited to get out there and show the world what I’m capable of,” Brown said.The Steelers will start second-year back James Conner in Bell’s place. Brown isn’t too concerned about Bell’s absence or the debut of offensive coordinator Randy Fichtner, who took over in January.“As long as we got (quarterback Ben Roethlisberger) and the (offensive) line we’ve got a better chance to win I think,” Brown said.NOTES: The Steelers ruled TE Vance McDonald (foot) out for the opener. … Rookie S Terrell Edmunds is expected to start. The first-round pick played well during the preseason while veteran Morgan Burnett dealt with injuries. Burnett is expected to play in sub packages. |
