Steelers place RB Trey Edmunds on IR and add TE Vance McDonald to roster
The Thanksgiving holiday doesn’t keep the Pittsburgh Steelers from making moves necessary to strengthen the team.
Running back Trey Edmunds, who was signed to the roster on Oct. 10, was placed on injured reserve. He suffered a hamstring injury in the Week 10 Steelers-Bengals matchup.
The Edmunds move allowed Pittsburgh to add tight end Vance McDonald to the active/inactive roster. He was activated on Nov. 24 and returned to practice after being removed from the reserve/COVID-19 list.
Though McDonald hasn’t contributed much in the passing game (9 rec., 61 yards), the Steelers could use his blocking skills in the run and pass game. Hopefully, Vance will be active for the rescheduled Steelers-Ravens brawl on Sunday.
We’ve placed RB Trey Edmunds on the Reserve/Injured List, which makes room on the Active/Inactive roster for TE Vance McDonald, whose two-day COVID-19 roster exception expired. @BordasLawhttps://t.co/ZIWhFcyO4g
