Steelers | Eli Rogers on the bubble? Fri Jun 21, 09:17 PM

Steelers | Ryan Switzer fighting for spot Fri Jun 21, 09:14 PM
Pittsburgh Steelers WR Ryan Switzer is likely competing for WR Eli Rogers to be the final receiver kept on the 53-man roster, according to Bob Labriola of Steelers.com.
| Footballguys view: The Steelers could target the slot receiver more often with Antonio Brown gone. Switzer is the more physically gifted player and can contribute as a returner, while Rogers has more experience with Ben Roethlisberger. The winner is unlikely to be relevant in fantasy leagues without multiple injuries to Steelers receivers/Vance McDonald. |

Steelers | Eli Rogers suspended Tue Aug 21, 04:50 PM
Pittsburgh Steelers WR Eli Rogers is suspended without pay for the first game of the regular season for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy.

Steelers | Eli Rogers to go on PUP Wed Jul 25, 05:33 PM
Pittsburgh Steelers WR Eli Rogers (knee) will be placed on the Physically Unable to Perform list because he is still recovering from a torn anterior cruciate ligament.
| Footballguys view: Rogers got a bit of interest after the Steelers declined to tender him as a restricted free agent. When healthy, Rogers is trying to make the 53-man roster as a fourth or fifth wide receiver on the depth chart. |

| Footballguys view: The Steelers did not tender Rogers as a restricted free agent this offseason but he's back with the team anyway after visiting a few teams. Rogers is coming back from the knee injury he suffered in the loss to Jacksonville in the playoffs. When healthy, Rogers could be the team's no.4 wide receiver behind Antonio Brown, JuJu Smith-Schuster and rookie James Washington. |

NFL | Eli Rogers close to signing Thu Jul 19, 10:57 PM
Free-agent WR Eli Rogers (Steelers) posted on social media Thursday, July 19, that he plans to sign with a team within the next few days.
| Footballguys view: Earlier this year, the Steelers did not tender Rogers as a restricted free agent, making him an unrestricted free agent. He's recovering from a knee injury suffered last year and could return to the Steelers at a lower price. We'll see if the Steelers bring him on board again as veteran depth behind Antonio Brown, JuJu Smith-Schuster and rookie James Washington. |

Steelers | Eli Rogers likely will return Thu May 17, 03:31 PM
Free-agent WR Eli Rogers (knee) likely will re-sign with the Pittsburgh Steelers once he recovers from his torn anterior cruciate ligament, in the opinion of ESPN.com's Jeremy Fowler.
| Footballguys view: That move could make a lot of sense for both sides. With Martavis Bryant (Raiders) traded away, the Steelers could use another body in the mix behind Antonio Brown and JuJu Smith-Schuster. After snaring 48 catches out of the slot in 2016, Rogers wasn't used much in 2017 and only caught 18 passes. Rogers tore his ACL in the Divisional Round against the Jaguars. He may not be fully ready to go until well into the 2018 regular season. |

Steelers | Coach hopes Eli Rogers returns Tue Mar 27, 03:33 PM
Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said he hopes free-agent WR Eli Rogers (knee) re-signs with the Steelers this offseason.

Steelers | Eli Rogers not tendered Tue Mar 13, 05:32 PM
Pittsburgh Steelers restricted free-agent WR Eli Rogers will not be tendered an offer this offseason and will be an unrestricted free agent.

Steelers | Eli Rogers hoping to be ready for camp Sun Feb 25, 10:57 AM
Pittsburgh Steelers WR Eli Rogers (knee) has established a goal of being ready to participate in training camp, although no official timetable has been set for his return from surgery to repair a torn anterior cruciate ligament. He said that he is in 'the second phase' of his rehab process and added that he has range of motion back. Rogers began walking without the aid of crutches last week and recently started riding a bicycle and using an arc trainer.
| Footballguys view: Rogers could be in line to the full-time #3 receiver if the team trades Martavis Bryant, who is rumored to be on the market. They could also go back to the well in the draft, where they have arguably been the most successful team at drafting wide receivers over the last decade. |

Steelers | Eli Rogers may not be ready for Week 1 Sat Jan 20, 04:56 PM
Pittsburgh Steelers WR Eli Rogers (knee) may not be ready for the start of the 2018 regular season because he underwent surgery earlier this week to repair his torn anterior cruciate ligament. He is a restricted free agent this offseason.
| Footballguys view: ACL injuries usually take about 9-12 months to fully recover from. Rogers flashed in 2017 as the no4 receiver for the Steelers. They are likely to be without him for OTAs and into training camp. If he heals quickly, there's a chance Rogers could avoid the PUP list to begin the season. |

Steelers | Eli Rogers undergoes surgery Sat Jan 20, 01:18 PM
Updating a previous report, Pittsburgh Steelers WR Eli Rogers (knee) - an impending restricted free-agent - underwent surgery to repair his torn ACL on Wednesday, Jan. 17.
| Footballguys view: Rogers flashed at times as the no4 WR for the Steelers. They should expect him to miss all of the offseason workouts and we should see Rogers begin training camp on the PUP list. If he heals quickly, then Rogers might avoid the PUP list at the start of the regular season. |

Steelers | Eli Rogers suffered torn ACL Fri Jan 19, 03:50 PM
Pittsburgh Steelers WR Eli Rogers (knee) suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament during the Divisional Round playoff game.
| Footballguys view: Bad news for Rogers who is set to be a restricted free agent this year. The Steelers should bring him back, but this injury will force him to miss the offseason program. His recovery should also take him into the regular season, and Rogers should be a candidate for the PUP list at the beginning of training camp. We'll see them search for a no4 WR behind Antonio Brown, JuJu Smith-Schuster and Martavis Bryant. |

Pittsburgh Steelers WR JuJu Smith-Schuster has reportedly passed Eli Rogers on the depth chart and taken ownership of slot receiver duties, ESPN.com's Jeremy Fowler.

Steelers | JuJu Smith-Schuster favored in red zone? Sun Aug 6, 10:19 PM
Pittsburgh Steelers WR JuJu Smith-Schuster split reps with WR Eli Rogers as the slot receiver with the first-team, but Smith-Schuster was used more often in the red zone.
| Footballguys view: The Steelers have quality depth at wide receiver and young depth. If Martavis Bryant gets suspended again, they should still be able to keep the passing game humming. Smith-Schuster would be the preferred pickup of he and Rogers in that case. |

Pittsburgh Steelers WR Eli Rogers has recovered from his toe injury and is 'up for considerable play' against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 9, according to head coach Mike Tomlin, who denied Rogers' lack of play in Week 7 against the New England Patriots was due to off-field issues.
| Footballguys view: We'll believe it when we see it. Rogers has interesting ability as a receiver in space, but he's not consistent in what he does. Keep him on your waiver wire speed dial in re-draft leagues in case Rogers actually does something with another chance. |

Steelers | Friday injury report for Pittsburgh Fri Oct 14, 09:19 PM
Pittsburgh Steelers OT Marcus Gilbert (ankle), DE Cameron Heyward (hamstring), LB Ryan Shazier (knee), SS Shamarko Thomas (groin) and C Cody Wallace (knee) did not practice Friday, Oct. 14, and have been ruled out for Week 6. C Maurkice Pouncey (illness) was a limited participant and was not on the injury report, and CB Justin Gilbert (knee), CB Robert Golden (hamstring) and WR Eli Rogers (toe) were full participants and were not listed on the injury report.
| Footballguys view: The Steelers will be without their best linebacker and defensive lineman, but the Dolphins offense hasn't shown the ability to create and exploit advantages against any opponent except the woeful Browns defense and the Patriots defense when they went into prevent mode. This hurts the Steelers D/ST in a good matchup, but doesn't make the Dolphins offense that much more attractive for fantasy this week. |
