Steelers Ready to Put More Trust in Rookie WR Germie Bernard

The Pittsburgh Steelers face a potential doomsday scenario at wide receiver entering the second half of October. Only top starter D.K. Metcalf and rookie receivers remain healthy in the unit. That could particularly be an issue because of the high standards 42-year-old quarterback Aaron Rodgers typically takes with first-year players. Without three receivers because of injuries, the Steelers have the risk of becoming a one-dimensional passing attack. But the Steelers might not face that doomsday scenario after all with the development of Germie Bernard. The second-round rookie has continued to improve early in his first NFL season.
