The Pittsburgh Steelers have re-signed RB Trey Sermon to their practice squad ahead of the Week 16 matchup vs. the Detroit Lions.

Herbig suffered the injury in the fourth quarter and Sawyer saw the rest of the snaps in the game. Even if Herbig did play, however, he might be limited. The standout pass rusher told Alan Saunders of Steelers Now that he was ‘optimistic’ about playing on Sunday, but that it is not fully up to him. The training staff has to clear him.

The Steelers’ 28-15 win over Miami produced a rare NFL first and boosted Pittsburgh’s playoff chances as the season winds down.

While 42-year-old Aaron Rodgers was channeling his prime at wintry Acrisure Stadium by completing 23 of 27 passes for 224 yards and two scores, a defense playing without superstar outside linebacker T.J. Watt overwhelmed Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa during a third quarter in which Miami ran six plays and lost 20 yards in the process.

Miami has won four in a row since losing to Baltimore back in Week 9, and is now on the fringes of the playoff race in a season that started off in disastrous fashion. The Dolphins have been running the ball like crazy during their winning streak, while also turning over the opposing team multiple times in each of those games.

Former Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Devin Bush was found not guilty on charges of simple assault and harassment stemming from an incident with his girlfriend in Bell Acres, Pennsylvania. Court records obtained by PennLive show that prosecutors failed to prove that Bush had intent to injure his girlfriend in the incident.
