Barring injury, the Pittsburgh Steelers will have three quarterbacks, including rookie Will Howard, on their active roster for the remainder of the 2025 NFL season.
The Steelers announced Wednesday they activated Howard from injured reserve and placed him on the 53-man roster.
November 12 was the final day the team would have been able to activate Howard. The quarterback began his 21-day practice window on October 21.
Last week, Howard fully practiced ahead of the matchup versus the Los Angeles Chargers. However, the Steelers left him off the active roster, still on IR.
To create space for the rookie signal-caller, the Steelers waived running back Trey Sermon from the 53-man roster. Sermon has played in four games with Pittsburgh this season.
Week 11 will be the first time Howard dresses for an NFL game. The rookie quarterback missed the entire exhibition slate and the first 10 weeks of the regular season because of a hand injury.
Also on Wednesday, the Steelers officially announced signing cornerback Asante Samuel Jr. to their practice squad. On Tuesday, ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler and other insiders reported the team was adding Samuel to their practice squad.
In a corresponding move, the Steelers released safety Darrick Forrest off the practice squad.
