PITTSBURGH — Steelers defensive lineman Cam Heyward is back at practice on Thursday, and the team has opened his 21-day window to return to the team’s active roster, they announced. Heyward was placed on injured reserve after he suffered a core muscle injury that required surgery. The estimated time he was likely to miss was eight weeks, and they are approaching that window for him to return.
