The Pittsburgh Steelers are not listing Ladarius Green on their injury report, and it looks like he is good to go vs. the Dallas Cowboys in Week 10. The team is set to activate him from PUP and may play him Sunday, according to ESPN reporter Jeremy Fowler.
Ladarius Green injury update: Steelers TE coming off PUP, may play vs. Cowboys and for fantasy owners
Pittsburgh could get some help on offense if Ladarius Green is able to make his 2016 debut this week.

The fifth-year tight end has been absent for the entire regular season thus far due to recurring concussion issues while also recovering from offseason ankle surgery. He opened the year on PUP and is eligible to come off now.
There was some thought that Pittsburgh would cut Green if the issue was serious enough and if they could recoup his signing bonus, but it looks like they are keeping him.
The Steelers signed the tight end as a free agent this offseason and were hoping that he could fill the void left by the recently retired Heath Miller.
Fantasy Spin: Until Green can even get on the field, he’s not even worth anything more than a waiver wire stash. If he is healthy and plays for the Steelers this week, he could become enough of a weapon in this offense to become fantasy relevant, but until we actually see that play out, do not start Green in any league.
Jesse James remains the tight end to use in the Steelers’ offense.
