Overview
- The Steelers announced they signed defensive back Ahmari Harvey to a one-year contract and released defensive end K.J. Henry to open a roster spot, a transaction teams posted on June 25.
- Harvey played 43 games at Georgia Tech with four interceptions and 121 tackles and joined Pittsburgh after spending about five and a half weeks with the Denver Broncos earlier in June.
- Harvey now becomes one of 19 defensive backs on Pittsburgh’s offseason roster, creating a narrow path for him to make the final 53-man roster once preseason cuts begin.
- K.J. Henry had been on a Steelers futures contract signed in January and brings limited recent game snaps along with prior experience on other teams and a practice-squad Super Bowl ring.
- This change illustrates routine late-June roster tinkering that balances depth across position groups and foreshadows more moves as the Steelers trim from 90 players to 53 during training camp and the preseason.
