Steelers Coach Mike Tomlin 'Certainly Open' to Playing Marquez Valdes-Scantling This Week

Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin has indicated he is 'certainly open' to the possibility of wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling playing this week against the Bengals. Valdes-Scantling, who previously played with Aaron Rodgers in Green Bay, was recently signed by the Steelers. Tomlin stated that the team is not opposed to elevating practice squad players and utilizing their talents, a practice they've employed 'about every game this year.' He emphasized evaluating Valdes-Scantling's ability to understand the offense and execute, and how he might contribute to securing a victory. While he's not expected to be a complete solution for the Steelers' offensive struggles, any help he can provide would be welcomed as the team aims to keep its playoff hopes alive.
