Steelers Re-Sign Tre Flowers to Practice Squad After Waiver for D.K. Metcalf Return

Unlimited postseason elevations keep the veteran available for the Texans game.

Overview

  • Pittsburgh announced on January 7 that cornerback Tre Flowers has joined the practice squad.
  • Flowers was waived earlier in the week to open a 53-man roster spot for wide receiver D.K. Metcalf.
  • Under NFL postseason rules, practice-squad players can be activated for playoff games, including Monday’s Wild Card at Houston.
  • Flowers signed on December 25, played two special-teams snaps in Week 17, and was inactive in Week 18.
  • The Steelers did not require a practice-squad cut because offensive tackle David Sharpe was released on Tuesday.
