He tweeted out that he’s practicing tomorrow. Tomlin also said “we’ll see” as far as him practicing tomorrow.

Good news. He’s our 2nd best pure pass rusher.

He's since deleted that tweet apparently.
 
Great news! Ola has "it". He could be a real factor when it matters. We will see.

From Steelers Depot:

Tomlin was asked during his Tuesday press conference if indeed Adeniyi‏ will resume practicing on Wednesday.

“We’ll see,” Tomlin said.

After Tomlin made his comment the Steelers rookie outside linebacker deleted his tweet.

So sounds like it will happen but they probably don't want to say guaranteed. I wonder how good of football shape he's in.

Tunch and Wolf said he looked ready to go like a month ago so I’m thinking he’s in good shape. OLB is a lot easier to get into football shape than say, a running back.

Fresh legs. Go get it young buck. Now getting PT out of Tomlin is another issue
 
After starting practice, I believe they have so many days or games to activate him, so this practicing might be for down the road and not this Sunday.
Anyone know what the activation rule is for a player brought back during the season?

which, of course, means Ola will start

Yup, his injury was minor to be placed on IR. He would only really be shelved a month max, but they did it to protect/redshirt/save a roster space and not expose him to poaching from the PS. Another smart personnel move by Colbert and Tomlin.

I'm really surprised that Keion Adams wasn't called up first. He's the vet and knows the system. This is usually the move we make. Instead we're going with potential, and I like it! I'm excited to see if Ola can make splash plays in the regular season, as he did in the preseason.

And the writing is on the wall. If we're calling someone up, Chick will be IRed to make room on the roster.

Doesn't a cut need to happen?
 
Has he ever played a down in the nfl?
 
Tomlin is turning some heads this season. Different from the normal old assed bone-head deer in lights look of the past.........................................

I’d love to see Watt and Ola pin their ears back on a 3rd and 15.

Can you imagine if this guy can do what he flashed in the preseason? Would be another UDFA home run.

I can just imagine Heinz field right now after a strip sack "Ola! Ola! Ola!"
 
The guy was a lot of fun to watch in the preseason and he's been anxiously awaiting his opportunity. I won't expect too much but I'm excited to find out.
 
Sounds like the FRITO BANDITO commercial..!!!!!! I'll take it and looking forward to his playing...

After he starts practice, they have 14 days to activate him, so nobody needs to be cut now. Adams is already practicing with the team, so this has no effect on him.
