Welcome to Steelers Morning Rush, our new daily short-form podcast with Alan Saunders, giving a longer perspective on a single news topic surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers or the National Football League. Today, it’s the return of rookie quarterback Will Howard from the injured reserve list.
Howard has been out since training camp with a broken pinky finger that cost him his best opportunity to make an impact during his rookie year — the preseason.

Alan breaks it down.
