The Pittsburgh Steelers brought in a huge 6-foot-2 defensive back with previous ties to the Washington Commanders, adding some additional secondary depth to their practice squad.
On Tuesday, the Steelers revealed that they had signed ex-Commanders defensive back Car'lin Vigers to their practice squad, along with a familiar face at wide receiver.
The Steelers announce three new practice squad signings:
