Overview

  • The Steelers announced the signing of safety Chuck Clark on July 25 to enhance depth and competition in their secondary during training camp.
  • A sixth-round pick by the Ravens in 2017, Clark has appeared in 108 NFL games across six seasons in Baltimore and a 2024 stint with the Jets.
  • He missed all of 2023 with a torn ACL and saw his 2024 campaign cut short by a pectoral injury with New York.
  • Known for his gritty run defense, Clark posted a 70.5 run-defense grade in 2022 and has experience at free safety, box alignment, slot and near the line.
  • With Minkah Fitzpatrick traded, Pittsburgh will test Clark against Juan Thornhill and DeShon Elliott as it reshapes its safety room.
