If the Pittsburgh Steelers are looking for a boost at wide receiver as they head into the more challenging part of their schedule after the bye-week. the potential return of their third leading receiver from 2016 might be just what the offense is looking for. Having already spent six weeks on the physically unable to perform list (PUP) Stephon Tuitt Color Rush Jersey , Eli Rogers is officially eligible to return to full training and the Steelers now have six weeks to decide what they want to do with him. However, once Rogers returns to practice in this six-week window, Pittsburgh will only have 21-days to decide if they wanted to activate him to the full roster, release him or place him on injured reserve for the rest of the year.Coming off an ACL injury, the Steelers would want to be sure Rogers was at least fully recovered from this knee issue before even thinking of letting him practice, but the receiver seemed confident he would be healthy enough to return when he last spoke to the media. With most of the squad in good shape, the coaching staff may well look at Rogers as insurance they could bank on later in the year, but with Darrius Heyward-Bey having missed the last two games with an ankle injury, an opportunity might arise sooner than expected if his issue lingers. Activating Rogers would require releasing another name from the 53-man roster, logically another receiver. With Justin Hunter the obvious candidate if Heyward-Bey’s injury is not expected to be long-term, Pittsburgh may be in no hurry to replace a player who has been inactive most weeks when the rest of the group is available. That being said, Rogers is the only other wideout on the roster apart from Antonio Brown or JuJu Smith-Schuster to have recorded more than 19 total receptions in the NFL in the last two years and it may benefit the offense to swap him for Hunter as soon as they can. While Rogers only caught 18 passes for 149-yards in 2017 https://www.steelerssportshop.com/Justin-Hunter-Jersey , he did record 48 receptions for 594-yards in 2016. The most Hunter has ever caught in one season is 28 passes and his career total with the Steelers currently stands at five. Even if Rogers is more of a slot player and Hunter an outside receiver, one has clearly been more productive than the other.Little else has been heard from Rogers or the team about their plans for him as of late, but this will be a situation to keep an eye on in the coming weeks for sure. The Pittsburgh Steelers fan base has been very vocal about their displeasure with the current uniforms. However, if you were an alien visiting this planet for the first time, and studied the Steelers’ jersey history you would suggest there hasn’t hardly been any change in the last 25 years.Oh, but when you ask any black-and-gold blooded fan, they will look at you and say, “But those numbers!! Bring back the block numbers!!”The late Dan Rooney chose to change the jersey numbers to match the numbers on the team’s helmets in 1997, and added the team’s logo to the left chest of the jersey.If you hated the change, and long for the classic block numbers of the 1970s, then you will enjoy watching the Steelers host the Cleveland Browns in Week 8 at Heinz Field, when the team will wear their new throwback uniforms.Check out the video T. J. Watt Jersey , in case you forgot:I have to wonder if the Steelers might follow the lead of the Pittsburgh Penguins and their jersey changes over the past few years. When the Penguins went from the classic Pittsburgh black and gold, and to the black and vegas gold, the reception from the fan base was lukewarm, to say the least. Two years ago, the organization decided to go back to the Mario Lemieux uniforms, with the traditional Pittsburgh colors. Fans went crazy for them. How did the Penguins respond? They wore the throwback jerseys at home during the playoffs, and the following year made them their everyday uniforms.To say fans were happy is an understatement.Could the Steelers follow suit and eventually go back to the block numbers as many fans have been asking for? In the NFL it is all about dollar bills. If the Steelers, Nike and the NFL think the transition back to the old school style would equate to more money, the move could be made, but if I were a betting man I would suggest the Steelers will inject the uniforms here and there to have the best of both worlds.Do you want the block numbers back for good? Or are you okay with the uniforms the way they are? Let us know in the comment section below!
