I reported earlier that the Steelers placed P Adam Podlesh on the Reserve/Did Not Report list. The move was essentially a procedural one to free up the spot on the 90 man roster. When asked after practice if the team had plans to bring in another leg to compete with Wing, coach Tomlin said no. “Not as we stand here right now, no. Not that I’m opposed to it but not as we stand here right now,” said Tomlin.
About Podlesh’s current situation Tomlin said, “It is what it is right now. He’s on that list and his status will remain there until we hear otherwise. Right now we’re working with Brad, and I like the work that he’s doing.”
Podlesh can still rejoin the team. Being placed on the Reserve list doesn’t eliminate that possibility. While Wing may be the only punter on the active roster right now, I think the team taught us last year that the last punter standing after camp doesn’t necessarily have a job during the regular season.
