钢人队10月24日激活安全卫埃利奥特 时隔一年复出迎战圣徒
10月24日，位于宾夕法尼亚州阿勒格尼县的匹兹堡钢人队宣布将安全卫德肖恩·埃利奥特从伤病储备名单激活，进入五十三人大名单，他预计将出战周日对阵新奥尔良圣徒队的比赛。埃利奥特去年10月26日对阵绿湾包装工队的比赛中膝盖和腿部严重受伤，赛季就此报销，复出之路走了一整年。他在训练营开始时回归，但球队出于谨慎先让他打了一场季前赛，随后因酸痛缺席训练，最终在八月底的裁员期被放进伤病储备名单。球队10月8日为他打开训练窗口，前两周训练量受限，本周已恢复全量训练。钢人队本周早些时候裁掉了老将安全卫雷肖恩·詹金斯，因此这次激活不需要做相应的裁员动作。球队同时把两名练习队外接手布兰登·史密斯和布兰登·约翰逊提拔到比赛名单。埃利奥特以强硬的球风著称，总经理奥马尔·汗此前强调，球队等待他完全康复是为了保护他，如今他终于可以重返赛场。
Steelers Activate Safety Elliott on October 24; Back After a Year to Face the Saints
On October 24, the Pittsburgh Steelers, in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, announced the activation of safety DeShon Elliott from injured reserve to the 53-man roster, and he is expected to play on Sunday against the New Orleans Saints. Elliott suffered a serious knee and leg injury against the Green Bay Packers on October 26 last year that ended his season, and his road back has taken a full year. He returned at the start of training camp, but the team proceeded cautiously: he played one preseason game, then missed practice with soreness, and was placed on injured reserve at the late-August roster cuts. The team opened his practice window on October 8; his workload was limited for two weeks before he returned to full practice this week. Pittsburgh released veteran safety Rayshawn Jenkins earlier this week, so no corresponding cut was needed for the activation. The team also elevated practice squad receivers Brandon Smith and Brandon Johnson to the game-day roster. Known for his physical style, Elliott returns after general manager Omar Khan emphasized the team waited for his full recovery to protect him; now he is finally back on the field.
