Overview
- The Steelers announced on Dec. 25 that Tre Flowers has been added to the 53-man active roster.
- The move follows an injury crunch at cornerback, with James Pierre limited in practice and Brandin Echols not participating.
- The addition comes ahead of Week 17 at Cleveland, a matchup with AFC North stakes in play.
- Flowers appeared in two games for the Lions this season, logging 12 defensive and 11 special-teams snaps without recording stats before his Dec. 1 release.
- A local report tied the transaction to filling DK Metcalf’s suspended roster spot, a rationale not confirmed by the team.
