The Steelers will be without inside linebacker Elandon Roberts for Week 8 against the Cleveland Browns, as he was not elevated from the practice squad before the deadline. Roberts re‑joined Pittsburgh on Oct. 12 after a stint with the Raiders, but will miss another game despite a healthy linebacker corps (Patrick Queen, Payton Wilson, Carson Bruener, Cole Holcomb). The team promoted two wide receivers, Brandon Smith and Brandon Johnson, to cover injuries to Michael Pittman Jr., Roman Wilson, and a questionable Ben Skowronek. Steelers coach Mike McCarthy praised Roberts' veteran grit, but the lineup remains intact.
The Steelers left veteran wideout Marquez Valdes‑Scantling on the practice squad for Week 8, so he will miss Sunday’s game against the Cleveland Browns. Re‑signed last Tuesday after a brief stint with the Chargers, Valdes‑Scantling has only five games of familiarity with quarterback Aaron Rodgers and coach Mike McCarthy, but the injuries to Roman Wilson, Ben Skowronek and Michael Pittman Jr. left the depth chart thin. Instead, practice‑squad receivers Brandon Johnson (elevated for a third time) and Brandon Smith (promoted to the 53‑man roster) will suit up. Valdes‑Scantling, 31, logged 10 catches for 80 yards and one TD last season and remains eager to play alongside Rodgers, who praised his work ethic this week.
