Steelers Sign WR Jacob Copelaand, Release DB Jalen Elliot
This is Copeland's second stint on the Steelers practice squad this season. Copeland was signed to the practice squad ahead of the Week 2 game against the Cleveland Browns and released on Oct. 3.
Copeland originally signed with the Tennessee Titans as an undrafted free agent following the 2023 NFL Draft. He was released by the Titans, later signing with the Minnesota Vikings during training camp. Copeland was released prior to the start of the regular season. – Teresa Varley, Steelers

Hopefully Copeland makes the most of his second chance, becoming a staple on the backend of Pittsburgh's roster going forward.
