Overview
- The Steelers brought in veteran safety Jordan Whitehead and cornerback Eric Scott for visits during training camp as the team examines outside options for depth and special teams.
- Whitehead was cleared to resume playing after a serious neck injury in a January 2025 car crash and has since worked out for other clubs, prompting renewed NFL interest.
- Teams view Whitehead as a veteran depth piece because of his starting experience and Super Bowl ring, but they are balancing that value with caution about his recent medical history.
- Eric Scott is auditioning for a roster spot after being a 2023 sixth-round pick who moved between practice squads and was waived with an injury designation in 2025.
- The visits keep Pittsburgh’s roster-building flexible during camp and signal the next steps to watch are medical rechecks and whether the team offers short-term contract terms.
