What It Means
The Steelers were down to only Naee Harris and Jaylen Warren as active running backs during Monday night's victory. They signed and elevated Qadree Ollison, which made for an epic homecoming. Still, there is still a need for depth in the backfield and at returner with RB Anthony McFarland down, and returner Gunner Olszewski facing his own uphill battle to play.
As for Fehoko, the absence of Cam Heyward has been felt in teh first two weeks, particularly in defending the run. Pittsburgh has let up nearly 400 yards in two contests and desperately needs a run-plugging nose tackle, the exact description that Fehoko fits, as evidenced during his time in Latrobe this summer.
