The Steelers have designated fullback Roosevelt Nix and wide receiver Ryan Switzer for return from injured reserve. Both players are eligible to practice starting today.

The door also opens for them to play in the postseason, if the Steelers qualify. If the Steelers beat the Ravens in Week 17 and the Titans lose to the Texans, they’re in. There are also a few other scenarios that could extend their season.
Nix, 27, is still in the midst of the four-year, $6.975MM extension he inked with the team after his 2017 Pro Bowl campaign. So far this year, he’s appeared in just three games.
Switzer, 25, has been traded twice in his young career. The most recent deal shipped him from Oakland to Pittsburgh, where he’s appeared in nine games. In 2019, he’s caught eight passes for 27 yards while handling some kick and punt returns.
Brain trust will end up putting Switzer to return punts for some stupid reason. Guy has done nothing in 2 seasons to deserve a roster spot
You’re right. Johnson clearly proved that he is the superior returner since he was put there. Even Kerryth White shows more potential as a returner than Switzer. They both have explosiveness. Switzer doesn’t. All he can do is catch the ball.
I read Switzer, but my brain read Shazier, and I couldn’t believe that dude was making it back already…hope he is doing well
Nix is a beast, best of luck to him.
