Overview

• The team announced the addition of second-year linebacker Jacoby Windmon to its practice squad on Wednesday.
• Windmon returns a day after Las Vegas signed Jon Rhattigan off Pittsburgh’s practice squad and as the Steelers released Ja’Whaun Bentley to create space for returner and running back Raheem Blackshear.
• An undrafted 2024 Michigan State product, Windmon initially joined Pittsburgh last year before Carolina signed him to its active roster.
• He appeared in eight games for the Panthers in 2024 with 22 tackles, 1.5 sacks, two passes defended, and significant special-teams snaps.
• Coaches value his ability to play inside linebacker and off the edge, and his prior time in Pittsburgh should speed his integration.
