If you watched Sunday's game against the Texans, then you know the Pittsburgh Steelers struggled mightily. 

So much so, that Coach Tomlin said we should expect changes

Well, all be it minor, change has occurred:

Fitzpatrick was signed to the practice squad after a strong camp and was recently signed to the active roster, even available to play on Sunday against the Texans. He did not, however, and now Pittsburgh will look to add another name, likely in the tight end room following an injury to Pat Freiermuth

Now I know this isn't the "change" that many Steelers fans envisioned when they read what Coach T had to say after Sunday's embarrassing loss, but it is what it is at this point. Expecting the Steelers to make a change at OC at this point of the year is less likely than hitting the lotto and getting struck by lightning on the same day. So hopefully it's a small step before a major move, but don't hold your breath Steelers fans.
