This prized free agent signing of the offseason could be nearing his return to the field

This would be great news for Pittsburgh.

The Pittsburgh Steelers haven't gotten much production from the tight end position thus far this year, but that might change after the bye week.

Ladarius Green has been out for the Steelers' first seven games due to an ankle injury, but the tight end is expected to practice today.

Green signed with the Steelers in the offseason after playing the first four years of his career with the San Diego Chargers. Green caught seven touchdown passes in San Diego. Current Steelers' tight ends Jesse James and Xavier Grimble have combined for less than 300 yards and four touchdowns this season.

Pittsburgh travels to Baltimore to take on the Ravens on Nov. 6.
