The Pittsburgh Steelers announced a flurry of roster moves today as the team prepares for their upcoming matchup. Most notably, the organization has placed wide receiver Michael Pittman on injured reserve, sidelining him for at least the next four weeks.
To address depth concerns, the front office confirmed the following transactions:
- Doneiko Slaughter has been officially signed to the active roster from the practice squad.
- Lew Nichols and Brandon Smith have been elevated from the practice squad to bolster the depth chart.
The promotion of Slaughter signals a need for increased coverage versatility, while Nichols and Smith will provide immediate insurance at their respective positions.
