The Pittsburgh Steelers are preparing for their Wild Card game as they travel to Buffalo to face the Bills. Based on their play over the last three games along with rules that allow players to have unlimited elevations from the practice squad in the postseason, the Steelers have elevated the expected two players of linebacker Myles Jack and safety Eric Rowe from the practice squad for Monday’s game.

A second round draft pick of the Philadelphia Eagles in 2015, Eric Rowe has eight years of NFL experience where he’s played 100 career games with 56 starts and was a member of the New England Patriots 2016 Super Bowl winning squad. In his regular season career, Rowe has five interceptions with one return for touchdown, 41 passes defensed, 381 tackles, and 2.0 sacks. In three games with the Steelers, Rowe has 29 tackles, a forced fumble, and an interception while starting all three games.

After starting 13 games for the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2022, Myles Jack retired this past preseason after spending some time in training camp with the Philadelphia Eagles. Coming out of retirement to join the Steelers practice squad in late November, Jack is getting his opportunity of 2023 to fill out the patchwork unit of inside linebackers on the Steelers that have been decimated by injury. With the Steelers last season, Jack had 104 tackles and three passes defensed. In the last three games, Jack has 17 tackles and a sack.
