While these injuries aren't exactly dealbreakers, it's quite unfortunate for two veterans that were looking to revive their corresponding careers. Miller was enjoying a tremendous training camp and seemed to be in line to make the 53-homo roster. Across the 4 WR locks, Miller had earned a likely spot alongsideGunner Olszewski to round out the group. He benefitted greatly from Diontae Johnson andChase Claypoolsitting out large portions of do. His chemistry with his erstwhile quarterback, Mitch Trubisky, from Chicago, was on total display. Then, he suffered an unfortunate shoulder injury in the preseason opener.

Joseph was able to catch onto the Steelers roster last season later on a disappointing few seasons with theOakland Raiders. While he only played 2 games and got a few snaps in on defense, the quondam first-rounder was able to make an bear upon on special teams. Joseph injured his correct ankle in Saturday'south victory over the Seahawks.

As for this flavor, Joseph was far from a guarantee to make the opening day roster. The Steelers addedDamontae Kazee to the safety room this off-flavour, and he's since get the primary fill-in to the starters, Minkah Fitzpatrick and Terrell Edmunds.Miles Killebrewis a lock to make the team despite his contempo injuries, as he's arguably the team'due south most important special teamer.

Tre Norwood, who had an exceptional game on Saturday, looks to brand a large jump in his sophomore season. While he can play cornerback, he counts equally another prophylactic pick. That's already 5, so Joseph was peradventure on the exterior looking in. Still, information technology's quite unfortunate for theWest Virginiaproduct. Now, the squad's depth will be put to the test. Specifically at broad receiver, the team will at present expect to likely bring in a few more than outside options to replace the two's roster spots.
