Overview
- The team announced Wednesday that Plumlee returned to Pittsburgh on the practice squad listed solely at wide receiver after entering the league as a QB/WR hybrid.
- Safety Darrick Forrest and offensive lineman Jack Driscoll also joined the practice squad, providing experienced depth at two positions hit by injuries.
- Forrest has multiple seasons of starting experience with Washington, and Driscoll has started at both guard and tackle and was on the Eagles’ 2024 Super Bowl roster.
- To create space, the Steelers released running back Raheem Blackshear and linebacker Jocoby Windmon from the practice squad after earlier moving on from quarterback Logan Woodside.
- ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reported the Steelers also acquired Patriots safety Kyle Dugger on Tuesday night, and coverage differs on whether Plumlee has logged an NFL regular-season snap.
