Eli Rogers

Rogers' tryout with Houston comes following Will Fuller (hamstring) having been forced out of Sunday's loss to the Colts. The 26-year-old wideout spent the last three seasons with the Steelers, and his experience could make him a valuable depth option.

Rogers was unable to make the Steelers out of camp, but as evidenced by this news, is getting some looks elsewhere. The 26-year-old could be a prime depth receiver or practice squad option, and is coming off just 12 catches last season.

The veteran wide receiver and kick returner was a longshot to make the team after the Steelers drafted Diontae Johnson and signed free agent Donte Moncrief, but he could still be back when team are allowed to add 10 players to the practice squad beginning at 12 noon on Sunday.

This was a forgettable preseason for Rogers, with Pittsburgh taking a long look at Johnny Holton, Diontae Johnson and others in an extremely deep corps of wide receivers. The Steelers also gave extended looks at Johnson and Diontae Spencer at punt returner leaving Rogers' future with the team in question.
