Overview

• Pittsburgh designated defensive tackle Jacob Slade as waived with an injury after he suffered a knee injury during Wednesday’s practice and missed Thursday’s session.
• If Slade clears waivers the team will likely place him on injured reserve for the season or negotiate an injury settlement to free up a roster spot.
• The Steelers officially added former Minnesota Golden Gophers standout and ex-Saints tackle Kyler Baugh to their 90-man offseason roster.
• Breiden Fehoko announced on X that he plans to rejoin the team, though the Steelers have yet to confirm his contract or corresponding roster move.
• Training camp knee injuries to Dean Lowry, Esezi Otomewo and Slade have underscored Pittsburgh’s reliance on waivers and practice-squad depth to sustain its defensive front.
