Due to the injury of wide receiver Diontae Johnson, the Steelers used the new CBA rule for the second week in a row
The Pittsburgh Steelers use a new rule with the most recent collective agreement signed in March, according to which up to two players from the practice squad could be elevated to the active roster each week without moving another player So far in 2020, the Steelers have only used this new rule once to move running back Trey Edmunds from the practice squad to the active roster in Week 5. Having to give the player the weekly salary of an active roster player, being selective about the use of this rule was a wise decision
Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson ruled out for Sunday’s game, Steelers opted to elevate Deon Cain from practice squad to active Week 6 roster After the game, Cain will return to the Steelers training squad. This by Brooke Pryor of ESPN:
