the greg hill show: Will we see Malik cunningham tonight?
The Patriots made a duo of roster moves ahead of their Thursday Night Football contest against the Steelers, elevating QB/WR Malik Cunningham and RB Kevin Harris to the game-day roster.
This is the second consecutive practice squad elevation for Cunningham and his third appearance on game day. The former Louisville Cardinal signed to the 53-man roster ahead of their October 14 contest vs. the Raiders, but was waived 10 days later and signed back to the practice squad.
Cunningham was active and reportedly had a package of players for him in the game plan last week, but failed to log a snap in the Patriots' 6-0 loss to the Chargers.
As for Kevin Harris, the second-year running back is being called upon after an injury to Rhamondre Stevenson that will reportedly keep him out a few weeks. Harris played in five games as a rookie in 2022, tallying 18 carries for 52 yards and a touchdown. He'll help carry the load in the backfield behind now-starter Ezekiel Elliott.
Thursday's Patriots game kicks off at 8:15 p.m. from Pittsburgh's Acrisure Stadium.
