Steelers Sign DT Brodric Martin Off Chiefs Practice Squad to 53-Man Roster

The pickup addresses Pittsburgh’s shortage at nose tackle following Daniel Ekuale’s ACL tear.

Overview

  • Pittsburgh announced the addition Thursday, elevating the former Lions third-round pick to its 53-man roster.
  • Under NFL rules, a player signed off another team’s practice squad must stay on the active roster for at least three weeks.
  • The Chiefs chose not to promote Martin to their 53-man roster to retain him, clearing the way for the signing.
  • Martin, 26, has played five NFL games with four tackles after Detroit waived him prior to the 2025 season.
  • Listed around 6-foot-5 and 330 pounds, he is expected to bolster interior depth and compete for rotational nose-tackle snaps.
