The Pittsburgh Steelers offensive line got some good news on Friday when starting center Maurkice Pouncey was activated from the Reserve/COVID-19 list. Pouncey has missed the past two games on the list. Pouncey joins running back James Conner coming off the Reserve/COVID-19 list in time to take on the Buffalo Bills this week.

Typically, being available for practice determines participation but with Pouncey being quarterback Ben Roethlisberger’s comfort blanket, there’s no doubt he will be on the field this week.

The return of Pouncey and Conner should help give the Steelers better opportunities to run the football this week against Buffalo.
