Asante Samuel Jr gets elevated to the active roster

Damn

 

Good news bad news

 

Sucks Jones is going to IR.

 

Time to see what Asante Samuel Jr can do. Hopefully it gives the Pass Defense a boost. Corners sure do need it for certain.


As for the OT situation?! Hopeful that Andrus Peat holds up. He was a OT coming out of college but primarily has been a LG until 2023.

 

Please keep in mind that this is only the game day roster, and not the 53 man roster.

Any team that wants Samuels can still claim him on Tuesday off the Steelers Practice Squad. (Including the Steelers)


Steelers Make Asante Samuel Jr. Announcement Everyone Was Waiting For | Yardbarker
The team announced that practice squad cornerback Asante Samuel Jr. will be added to the active/inactive list for the game.

 

What’s the situation with Marquez Valdes-Scantling?

 

You buried the lead. As frustrating as he can be, losing Jones to IR is a big blow.

 

The active roster is the 53 man roster. It doesn't mean that he is going to be active, as they can elect to have him inactive for the game... but he is a part of the 53 man roster, claiming the spot that is vacated by Jones as he heads to IR. He is no longer a practice squad player, so he cannot be claimed.
