Steelers insider says Kaden Wetjen is ‘on the bubble’ to make roster
Steelers rookie “on the bubble” after second preseason game.
Pittsburgh Steelers insider Mark Kaboly has revealed that rookie return specialist Kaden Wetjen is currently "on the bubble" in terms of making the 53-man roster. Wetjen, a fourth-round pick, demonstrated his talents during Pittsburgh's preseason debut against the Green Bay Packers, where he caught two passes for 79 yards and a touchdown, and contributed 61 yards on kickoff returns.
However, in the Steelers' 17-0 shutout against the New York Jets, Wetjen's return yardage dropped to 7.2 yards on four attempts, and he also lost a fumble. Despite this, Wetjen's impressive preseason performance against the Packers highlights why the Steelers drafted him. With one more preseason game remaining against the Buffalo Bills, Wetjen has an opportunity to solidify his spot on the roster before the final cuts.
