Overview
- Pittsburgh announced the move on October 8, with assistant communications director Michael Bertsch posting the news on X.
- The addition comes after Jon Rhattigan was signed by the Raiders off Pittsburgh’s practice squad and Ja’Whaun Bentley was released to make room for Raheem Blackshear.
- Windmon first joined the Steelers as an undrafted rookie out of Michigan State in 2024 before the Panthers signed him off Pittsburgh’s practice squad.
- He appeared in eight games for Carolina in 2024, starting two, and recorded 22 tackles and 1.5 sacks while contributing on special teams.
- Coaches value his ability to play inside linebacker and off the edge, and he returns as a depth option who is not currently on the active roster.
