Steelers Place Dunker on IR

The Pittsburgh Steelers have announced that rookie guard Jennings Dunker will be placed on injured reserve. The third-round pick from Iowa suffered an MCL sprain during practice and is expected to miss 4-6 weeks. Dunker was inactive for the team's first two games this season. bettingx.club

To fill the roster spot, the Steelers signed running back Travis Homer from the practice squad and elevated RB Lew Nichols and DB Doneiko Slaughter. The moves come as the Steelers face the Bengals with running back depth concerns, as Rico Dowdle is out with a toe injury and Jaylen Warren is questionable with a shoulder injury.
