Pittsburgh Steelers Sign Veteran Linebacker Jaylon Smith Amid Injury Crisis

Move comes as Steelers vie for Wild Card spot in playoffs, with Smith potentially playing a key role.

Veteran linebacker Jaylon Smith has signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers, adding depth to their injury-riddled linebacker position.
Smith, a former Pro Bowler, has had stints with the Dallas Cowboys, New Orleans Saints, Las Vegas Raiders, and New York Giants in his seven-season NFL career.
The Steelers have suffered significant injuries at the inside linebacker position, losing Cole Holcomb, Kwon Alexander, and most recently Elandon Roberts.
Smith's signing comes as the Steelers make a push for a Wild Card spot in the playoffs, with an 8-7 record tied with three other teams.
While it's unclear how much Smith will contribute in the remaining two weeks of the regular season, he could potentially play a significant role by wild card weekend if the Steelers make the playoffs.
