The Pittsburgh Steelers have made a slew of roster moves before their Week 2 game against the New England Patriots.<\/p>\n
Per an announcement<\/a> from the Steelers, they’ve elevated defensive back Doneiko Slaughter and running back Travis Homer from the practice squad while placing wide receiver Max Hurleman on the practice squad\/injured list.<\/p>\n Hurleman will not be able to practice or be elevated for a minimum of four weeks while he recovers from his injury.<\/p>\n With Joey Porter Jr. having been ruled out for a second-straight game, Slaughter will provide Pittsburgh with depth at cornerback once again.<\/p>\n The 24-year-old was also elevated for Week 1’s bout with the Atlanta Falcons, and he played a total of five special teams snaps while not seeing the field on defense in what marked his regular season debut.<\/p>\n Homer, meanwhile, could held out on special teams as well if he is active against the Patriots.<\/p>\n He missed out on the 53-man roster after Eli Heidenreich secured the No. 3 running back role, and the seventh-round rookie logged three offensive snaps vs. Atlanta in addition to garnering 13 total reps on special teams.<\/p>\n
