Where he fits
Eli Heidenreich plays for the PIT as a RB, wearing number 29. This is his first season in the league.
His job: The team's own depth chart lists him number 2 at kick returner — that's the order they'd normally use.
Last time out: He was active but didn't record any counting stats. He was only on the field for about 4% of the offensive plays, so he is a situational piece right now.
He isn't on the official week 2 injury report — no designation was filed for him.
