Boswell had missed the last five games with a groin injury. Wright had filled in for four of those games. Boswell started practicing with the team this week opening up his 21-day window for a return.

The return of Boswell gives the Steelers consistency at the position and the return of the team’s most dependable scoring threat on the team.
