The Steelers have an injury crisis at wide receiver that is going to push second-round rookie Germie Bernard into an expanded role. Michael Pittman is on IR with a foot injury. Roman Wilson is out with a hand injury. Ben Skowronek is out with a calf injury... Steelers beat writer Nick Farabaugh reported last week that Rodgers quizzed Bernard about the Colts' preferred coverages in different situations ahead of last week's Steelers-Colts game, and Bernard apparently passed the test.
STACKED’s take
Bernard gets expanded role due to injuries; Rodgers' history with rookies creates uncertainty.
Second-round rookie Germie Bernard is being pushed into an expanded role for the Steelers due to an injury crisis at wide receiver: Michael Pittman is on IR with a foot injury, Roman Wilson is out with a hand injury, and Ben Skowronek is out with a calf injury. Bernard will be Pittsburgh's primary option alongside DK Metcalf for the road game vs. Tampa Bay. Steelers beat writer Nick Farabaugh reported that QB Aaron Rodgers quizzed Bernard about the Colts' preferred coverages ahead of last week's Steelers-Colts game, and Bernard apparently passed the test. During his college career at Alabama, Bernard was reportedly well-liked by teammates and praised for his work ethic. However, Rodgers has a history of freezing out rookie receivers who are unable to get themselves into particular spots on the field at the exact time the quarterback wants them to be there, so Bernard's success with Rodgers remains uncertain.
