The Steelers not having anyone from the 53-man roster on the Reserve/COVID list didn’t last long.
Cornerback Joe Haden has been placed on the list, putting his ability to play on Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens.
With Haden potentially not being able to play on Sunday, Monday night’s win against his former team, the Cleveland Browns, could be Haden’s last in a Steeler uniform.
Haden said before the season that he would like to be extended but the Steelers decided to not do that and he will become a free agent at the end of the season.
Haden’s impact on the field has been noticeable with the secondary struggling when he is out.
He missed Week 2 with a groin issue and Weeks 11-14 with a foot injury.
If vaccinated, Haden needs two negative tests before Sunday to play in the game.
The roster move comes amid the Steelers taking six players off of the list earlier in the day.
The team has also placed defensive coordinator Keith Butler in their COVID protocol list. Unable to talk to the media on Thursday, head coach Mike Tomlin will be made available instead.
