With star safety Minkah Fitzpatrick already ruled out for Saturday's contest against the Bengals, Pittsburgh is making moves at the safety position.
Coach Tomlin noted that Pittsburgh would lean on recently acquired Super Bowl champion Eric Rowe, but wouldn't rule out adding additional help regarding the safety position.
It seems the latter just came to fruition:
Back in Black
The Steelers signed defensive back Jalen Elliott to the practice squad. Elliott was signed to the practice squad on Oct. 31, but later released. He was also with the team in training camp. Elliott originally signed with the Detroit Lions as an undrafted rookie free agent following the 2020 NFL Draft out of Notre Dame.
He spent his rookie season on the Lions practice squad and was elevated to the active roster for two games, and later signed to the 53-man roster. He played in a total of eight games, starting one.
Elliott signed with the New England Patriots during training camp in 2022. He played in the preseason but was released prior to the start of the regular season. Elliott also spent time with the Las Vegas Raiders. – Teresa Varley, Steelers PR
