The Steelers hosted nine players for a workout Thursday. With only two games left in the season, and slim playoff hopes. It’s pretty safe to say that they are getting a look at who could be brought back as a reserve future signing at the end of the season.
Here are the players.
The Steelers have signed veteran LB Jaylon Smith and Safety Nate Meadors to their Practice Squad today.
The Colts also signed Safety Henry Black from the squad.
Here is the updated unit.
The Steelers have had a few tough losses this season. And a lot of injuries have been stacking up over the last couple of weeks. With injuries to key positions groups like inside linebacker, quarterback, and in the secondary.
The Steelers are in a position to right now to keep building the team using both free agency and the draft. But it’s starting to get to the time when the draft is going to be more important than free agency. Since QB Kenny Pickett and WR George Pickens will be entering the third year of their contracts. Also, TE Pat Freiermuth will be entering the final year of his contract.
Let’s get into the mock draft.
Round 1
Pick 18: Nate Wiggins, CB Clemson
Round 2
Pick 50: Rod Moore, S Michigan
Round 3
Pick 82: Sedrick Van Pran, C Georgia
Round 4
Pick 116: Danny Stutsmann, LB Oklahoma
Pick 118: Rick Pearsall, WR Florida
Round 6
Pick 196: Nazir Stackhouse, DT Georgia
Round 7
Pick 239: M.J. Devonshire, CB Pittsburgh
The Steelers are coming into this game with a 7-4 record and the healthiest they have been this season. It’s going to be interesting to see if they can continue to what they did on offense against the Bengals last week. Which looked to be one of Kenny Pickett’s best game of his career.
Let’s get into the players to watch.
