Two catches during regular season
Rader caught two of three targets for eight yards during the 2021 regular season.
Analysis: Even though Eric Ebron (knee) missed nine games in 2021, Rader saw minimal playing time while appearing in just six games. He's made just seven appearances across his first two professional seasons and seems unlikely to have a massive uptick in production next year.

Listed as full participant
Rader (hip) fully participated in Wednesday's practice session, Dale Lolley of DKPittsburghSports.com reports.
Analysis: Rader was unavailable for Sunday's win over Tennessee due to a hip injury, but he appears to have moved past the issue ahead of Week 16. The tight end has had minimal playing time this year but could see an uptick in playing time Sunday against Kansas City if Pat Freiermuth (concussion) is unavailable.

Out against Tennessee
Rader (hip) is inactive Week 15 against the Titans.
Analysis: Rader missed Thursday's practice, which was sandwiched between a pair of limited sessions, causing him to enter the week with a questionable tag. The second-year tight end has served only in a depth role this season, so his absence shouldn't have much of an effect on the Pittsburgh offensive game plan.

Questionable for Sunday
Rader (hip) is questionable Sunday against the Titans, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Rader was limited in practice Friday with the injury. Filing in at third on the Steelers' tight end positional depth chart, Rader hasn't seen more than one snap on offense in any of his three games this season.

Promoted from practice squad
Rader was promoted to the Steelers' active roster Tuesday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.
Analysis: Rader was active in Week 9 against the Bears, making a one-yard catch on his only snap. The Youngstown State product has been with the team since 2019, appearing in one other game in 2020. With Eric Ebron (knee) likely to miss extended time, Rader will provide depth behind Pat Freiermuth and Zach Gentry.

Elevated by Steelers
Rader was elevated to the Steelers' active roster ahead of Monday's game against the Bears, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.
Analysis: Rader will provide additional depth at tight end in Week 9 since Eric Ebron (hamstring) has been ruled out for a second consecutive game. The 26-year-old made just one appearance with the Steelers last year and failed to secure his lone target.

Analysis: Rader logged 12 snaps on offense and 12 snaps on special teams in the first NFL action of his career.

Cut loose by Steelers
The Steelers waived Rader on Monday.
Analysis: Rader was promoted from the practice squad in late November, but he never suited up for a game. If he clears waivers, Rader has a good chance to re-sign with Pittsburgh's practice squad.

Receives promotion
The Steelers signed Rader to the active roster Tuesday, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Rader entered the league as an undrafted free agent in 2018 and has yet to make his NFL debut. He could get a chance this week against the Ravens following news that tight end Zach Gentry was placed on injured reserve with a left knee sprain. However, Vance McDonald (illness) could return to the lineup, which may put Rader in healthy scratch territory.

Back on open market
Rader was released by the Steelers on Wednesday.
Analysis: The decision to release Rader was made in order to make room for J.C. Hassenauer. Rader will now hope to find a home elsewhere, but he may have to wait until next season to do so. The 24-year-old tight end has not appeared in a game in 2019.
