Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Thomas Graham will be elevated from the practice squad to the active roster for the team’s game against the Indianapolis Colts. Graham is promoted after the team lost Cory Trice Jr., their starting dimebacker, to a hamstring injury in Week 3 against the Los Angeles Chargers. This could give Graham some insight into whether he could be a starter at this point in this game.
