This move showcases the team's confidence in the abilities of these two players and their potential impact on the upcoming game.

Myles Jack joined the Steelers' practice squad on November 20 and has since been elevated for several key games, including matchups against the Bengals, Seahawks, and Ravens. The talented linebacker started against the Seahawks, making an impressive 17 tackles, one sack, and one tackle for a loss throughout the season. In his 15 appearances with the Steelers in 2022, Jack demonstrated his prowess on the field, starting 13 games and leading the team with an impressive 104 tackles, with 61 of them being solo stops. Jack's contributions have been pivotal to the Steelers' defensive efforts, and his presence on the field will be crucial in the upcoming postseason clash.

Eric Rowe, a seasoned player now in his ninth season, signed to the Steelers' practice squad on the same day as Jack, November 20. Like Jack, Rowe was also elevated for games against the Bengals, Seahawks, and Ravens. Starting in all three of these games, Rowe showcased his versatility and impact, accumulating 29 tackles, an interception, a forced fumble, and a tackle for a loss. With his extensive experience, Rowe adds depth and valuable leadership to the Steelers' secondary.

As the Steelers gear up for their wild-card game against the Bills, the elevation of Myles Jack and Eric Rowe underlines the team's commitment to fielding a strong defense. The Steelers' reliance on these two players highlights their notable performances throughout the regular season and their ability to make game-changing plays. Expectations are high as these talented athletes look to contribute to the Steelers' pursuit of a playoff victory.
