Rogers (knee) returned to practice Wednesday, opening a 21-day window for the Steelers to add him to the 53-man roster.
Working his way back from an ACL tear suffered during the 2017 postseason, Rogers needs to be activated or placed on injured reserve by Dec. 19. He recorded 48 catches for 593 and three touchdowns on 66 targets (9.0 YPT) back in 2016, then slipped to an 18-149-1 receiving line on 36 targets (4.1 YPT) last season. It isn't clear where Rogers would fit in an offense that already has JuJu Smith-Schuster and Ryan Switzer doing good work out of the slot.
