Steelers Elevate Cornerbacks Tre Flowers and D’Shawn Jamison for Wild-Card at Texans

The moves offer insurance under playoff rules permitting unlimited practice-squad elevations.

Overview

  • Pittsburgh elevated Tre Flowers and D’Shawn Jamison from the practice squad hours before Monday’s AFC wild-card game in Houston.
  • Kickoff is 8:15 p.m. ET on ESPN.
  • Both players are eligible to dress and are expected to revert to the practice squad after the game.
  • With a fully healthy Saturday injury report, the elevations appear to be precautionary depth for the secondary and special teams.
  • Either could still be listed inactive when rosters are set about 90 minutes before kickoff; Flowers was waived Jan. 5 to make room for D.K. Metcalf and re-signed, while Jamison’s regular-season work came on special teams.
