Steelers Host Isaiah Simmons for Workout, Assess Linebacker Depth

The evaluation signals Pittsburgh’s search for immediate help at linebacker following recent roster turnover.

Overview

  • The Steelers worked out former top-10 pick Isaiah Simmons on Wednesday, with fellow linebacker Michael Barrett also visiting, according to multiple reports.
  • No signings were announced following the tryouts, leaving both players on the market for now.
  • Simmons, drafted eighth overall in 2020, played for Arizona and New York before signing with Green Bay in 2025 and being released during August roster cuts.
  • The workouts followed linebacker moves that included Jon Rhattigan joining the Raiders’ active roster and the release of Ja’Whaun Bentley.
  • Pittsburgh re-signed Jacoby Windmon to its practice squad, and local reporting suggests Simmons could be considered for a practice-squad role if space is created.
