The Pittsburgh Steelers announced roster moves on September 26 ahead of their game against the Cincinnati Bengals. Rookie guard Gennings Dunker has been placed on injured reserve due to a sprained MCL suffered in practice last week. He is expected to be sidelined for 4-6 weeks but will not require surgery. With Dunker out, Spencer Anderson and Brock Hoffman are likely candidates to fill the right guard position. The team also signed Homer to the roster, possibly signaling a larger role due to Dowdle's injury. The matchup against the Bengals is part of Week 3 action in the NFL.
