PITTSBURGH, PA — The Pittsburgh Steelers have promoted safety Eric Rowe and inside linebacker Myles Jack from the practice squad for the third time to play against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 18.
The Steelers have used both players as starters over the last two weeks after calling them up. Last week, Jack wore the green dot because Elandon Roberts was out with a pectoral injury. Despite the fact that Roberts and Minkah Fitzpatrick (knee) are listed as questionable with hopes of returning, Pittsburgh has added two practice squad veterans to their roster.
Rowe has 17 tackles and an interception on defense in two games with the Steelers. In those two weeks, Jack has 14 tackles, a sack, and a tackle for loss to his resume. 
Pittsburgh will need to sign both players to the 53-man roster if they make the playoffs, as this is their third elevation to the active/inactive roster. They will be unable to raise either one a fourth time.
Roberts told reporters that he expects to play against the Ravens, but Jack will most likely line up alongside him. If Fitzpatrick plays, he and Patrick Peterson will likely start at safety, with Rowe coming off the bench.
