Personally, I wish the Steelers would give Heidenreich a look at some punt and kick return duties, but he's been a game-day inactive thus far in his career. The Steelers have viewed him more as a running back thus far, but I'm curious if they'll reach a point where they give him a shot at receiver with the injuries mounting at the position.

STACKED’s take

Heidenreich's inactive status may change if WR injuries mount; return role potential untapped.

Rookie RB/WR Eli Heidenreich has been a game-day inactive thus far. The source wishes the Steelers would give him a look at punt and kick return duties. The Steelers have viewed him primarily as a running back, but the source is curious if they'll eventually try him at receiver given mounting WR injuries. For now, they're content leaving him inactive and using practice squad depth like Brandon Smith.
