The Pittsburgh Steelers added to their training camp roster with a new cornerback and tight-end.
PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Steelers are switching up their roster in the second week of training camp. After the team released defensive back Josiah Scott and wide receiver, the team brought in two new players to take their spots. The team announced on their social media that they signed tight-end Matt Sokol and defensive back Kyler McMichael.Sokol, 28, gives the Steelers another option with recent injuries.
McMichael, 24, is a young DB with limited experience. He was most recently with the Arizona Cardinals, but didn't play a regulation snap during his time there. Another undrafted player, this time out of the University of North Carolina, he's spent his professional career on several practice squads. He originally signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and also spent some time with the Buffalo Bills before the Cardinals claimed him.
With these additions, the Steelers are adding more depth and camp bodies for the next few weeks. Both the tight-end and the defensive back positions are pretty set, but the competition is always a good thing this time of year.
