Steelers get 2 key players off Reserve/COVID-19 list

Some good news from the Pittsburgh Steelers on the COVID-19 front. Pittsburgh will be without running back James Conner and defensive tackle Stephon Tuitt but will be getting back guard Kevin Dotson and defensive tackle Isaiah Buggs.

It’s still up in the air if the game will even happen on Tuesday as scheduled but if it does, this is great news for the Steelers offensive and defensive lines. Both units were lacking depth due to COVID-19 and getting these two, especially Buggs really shores up the rotation.

In addition to these moves, the Steelers also added kicker Matthew Wright to the practice squad and elevated safety Antoine Brooks Jr. to the active roster used the COVID-19 replacement exemption.
