Kalen Ballage rushed once for zero yards in Sunday's 16-13 OT win over the Ravens.Although Najee Harris sustained an elbow injury on the team's first drive Sunday, Ballage was on the field for just seven offensive snaps.

Steelers' Kalen Ballage: Pair of carries
Kalen Ballage carried the ball two times for eight yards in Friday's preseason game against Carolina.Ballage worked in a third-down role in the team's first offensive drive, though he was unable to convert his lone target into a catch. He drew one carry on the following drive and was held off the stat sheet thereafter until the fourth quarter. Ballage battled a lower-body issue throughout the middle of training camp but has been healthier than Benny Snell overall. That could clear a path for Ballage to make the roster, though the Pittsburgh Steelers' depth roles at the position remain unclear.
