Steelers Place Dunker on IR

Dunker, a third-round pick from Iowa, was inactive for the first two games of the season. The team expects him to miss 4-6 weeks of action. To fill the roster spot, the Steelers signed running back Travis Homer from the practice squad and elevated running back Lew Nichols and defensive back Doneiko Slaughter. zeppelin.cool

The roster moves come as the Steelers face the red-hot Bengals with running back concerns. Rico Dowdle is out with a toe injury, and Jaylen Warren is questionable with a shoulder injury.
