Anatomy of a WR: Eli Rogers

[Steeler Nation]

By G.Stryker www.SteelerNation.com Congratulations to Eli Rogers, who was just resigned to a one year deal today. It will no doubt shuffle the lineup of receivers on this team. Eli suffered an ACL injury in the playoff game last year versus the Jaguars, and his 9 month time table for recovery should have taken him […]

So Eli signed today, something I honestly thought he wasn't going to do. I'm hoping he's 100%, because there is stiff competition from Markus Tucker this season. It will be a camp battle where one will make the team and the other will not.

Not a bad problem to have. He still might get beat out. But I prefer the roster to shape up through competition, not the lack there of.

Good call, he is starting out on the PUP so he isn't 100% yet per Tomlin...

Tucker still has a good chance...

So we sign a player and he is on PUP so when does the competition start?

 

[Stryker]

It's actually a really good move by the Steelers. By signing and PUPing Eli, he will now fully heal before he can return to the team in week 6 or 5 weeks later. He's kind of and extra WR to keep in case someone gets hurt, and it doesn't cost us a roster spot.

If everyone stays healthy, he might never get activated.
