With Minkah Fitzpatrick out because of a knee injury and Damontae Kazee suspended because of a hit on the Colts’ Michael Pittman Jr., the Steelers might not only have Rowe in uniform for Saturday’s game against the Cincinnati Bengals, they might need him to start and play a significant role.

The most recent time Eric Rowe was in an NFL game of consequence, it was the playoffs.
