Overview
- Pittsburgh moved Howard from injured reserve to the 53-man roster on Wednesday after a 21-day practice window that opened October 22.
- Howard missed the preseason and the first 10 weeks with a training-camp finger injury and will be QB3 behind Aaron Rodgers and Mason Rudolph.
- He is expected to dress in Week 11 at Cincinnati and would only see the field if the Steelers suffer multiple quarterback injuries.
- To create a roster spot, the Steelers waived veteran running back Trey Sermon.
- Howard called the move a blessing focused on his development, said he keeps a Word document of Rodgers’ daily advice, and drew public praise from Jon Gruden, who predicted he could eventually start.
