Former NFL general manager Doug Whaley believes the Pittsburgh Steelers may try to keep quarterback Mason Rudolph on their practice squad this season. The idea stems from recent league rule changes that allow teams more flexibility with veteran players.
Whaley made the comments Wednesday on 93.7 The Fan. He noted that teams can now keep up to six players with unlimited accrued seasons on the practice squad. This option gives the Steelers a way to retain four quarterbacks if they choose.
