vike daddy Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 The NFL’s daily transaction wire shows that Cordarrelle Patterson passed his physical on Friday. That takes him off the non-football injury list and makes him eligible to start practicing and playing with the AFC North club. The Steelers signed Patterson as a free agent this offseason and has been dealing with a hamstring injury this summer. He joins Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren as backfield options and could also see action as a kickoff returner given his past success in that role. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/steelers-activate-cordarrelle-patterson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vike daddy Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 Defensive lineman Dean Lowry has been cleared for action at Steelers training camp. Lowry signed with the Steelers this offseason, but has been on the physically unable to perform list since camp got underway. Lowry has been recovering from a torn pectoral muscle. Lowry spent last season with the Vikings and started four of the nine games he played. He spent his first seven seasons with the Packers, so this is set to be his first season playing anywhere other than the NFC North. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/steelers-activate-dean-lowry-sign-two-players 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel free to believe it, just don't say it, because there's nothing good that can come out of it. Anyway, in brighter news...the big 44 today...

vike daddy Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 Brandon Allen and Josh Dobbs are competing for the 49'ers backup QB role and head coach Kyle Shanahan didn’t offer much hint about which way he’s leaning when he spoke to reporters after Sunday’s game against the Saints. Allen started the first preseason game and Dobbs replaced Purdy in the second quarter on Sunday to continue what Shanahan termed a close battle for the No. 2 role. “Yeah, I thought they both did well with the reps they were given,” Shanahan said, via 49ersWebzone.com. “Dobbs got to play a little bit more and I thought he did a real good job leading on some of those drives. When Brandon came in, he did the same. It was very similar to last week. The games have been tight, the practice have been tight. So, it’s a good problem we have right now.” https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/kyle-shanahan-picking-backup-qb-between-brandon-allen-josh-dobbs-good-problem-to-have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
