Lew Nichols III On Practice Squad Amid Steelers Backfield Injuries

Pittsburgh Steelers practice squad running back Lew Nichols III remains an in-house option as the team deals with significant backfield injuries ahead of Week 3. With Rico Dowdle ruled out due to a toe injury and Jaylen Warren listed as questionable with a shoulder issue, the active roster features only Jaylen Warren and rookie Eli Heidenreich, leaving practice squad players like Nichols and Travis Homer as potential depth call-ups.
