The Pittsburgh Steelers continued to round out its practice squad on Monday with the addition of three more players. The Steelers signed linebacker Delontae Scott, safety Andrew Adams and cornerback Josh Jackson.

Scott was on the Steelers practice squad in 2021 and even active for one game. He was waived by Pittsburgh this offseason but now returns. Adams enters his seventh NFL season having spent time with the New York Giants, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Detroit Lions and Philadelphia eagles.

Jackson is the most interesting of the bunch. A former second-round pick of the Green Bay Packers, he has 15 NFL starts and looked to have a promising NFL career ahead of him before bouncing around between the Packers, New York Giants, Arizona Cardinals and Kansas City Chiefs over the last four seasons.

On Friday, the Pittsburgh Steelers announced they had signed running back Jason Huntley to the practice squad. Huntley is a former fifth-round pick of the Detroit Lions out of New Mexico State.

Pittsburgh is Huntley’s third team in as many seasons and he has a whopping 70 career rushing yards. Not sure why Huntley was the pick with experienced backs still on the market but unless there is some sort of catastrophic injury, it’s doubful the team will need Huntley on the gameday roster.

According to ESPN NFL reporter Jeremy Fowler, the Pittsburgh Steelers are signing former Cincinnati Bengals defensive lineman Renell Wren to the practice squad.

Wren played college football at Arizona State and was a fourth-round pick of the Bengals back in 2019. He started two games as a rookie before going on IR. He then missed all of the 2020 season on IR as well.

If he’s healthy, Wren could be an effect 3-4 end in the Steelers scheme. He’s got a very long frame and carries his 315 pounds well. The Steelers have a surprisingly deep group of defensive linemen right now, so there would be no rush to get Wren into the mix.

#Steelers adding interesting name to D-line room — Renell Wren, a fourth-round pick by the Bengals in 2019, is joining Pittsburgh’s practice squad, per source. Steelers hope he’s a better fit in a 3-4 scheme.

According to NFL reporter Ari Meirov, former Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Mark Gilbert is signing with the Steelers again to join the practice squad.

Gilbert was originally an undrafted free agent out of Duke and was on the Steelers roster. But after he was waived joined the Lions and ened up on their active roster for eight games last season. Gilbert didn’t start any games and finishe with three tackles, one pass defended and one forced fumble.

Former #Lions CB Mark Gilbert, cousin of Darrelle Revis, is signing today with the #Steelers practice squad, per source. Gilbert was with Pittsburgh last season before Detroit signed him to their active roster. Steelers get him back now.

Tracking the Steelers 2022 practice squad

The Steelers have filled half of their practice squad slots.

The Pittsburgh Steelers continue to add players to fill the 16 slots on their practice squad. Here is a look at who is signed so far.

John Leglue has signed back with the Steelers.

It came as a surprise when the Pittsburgh Steelers chose to release offensive lineman John Leglue on Tuesday. But Leglue’s time with the Steelers was short lived as he has returned to the team on the practice squad per ESPN reporter Brooke Pryor.

Leglue joined the Steelers in 2021 and was a great surprise with five starts. Leglue played his college ball at Tulane. I look for Leglue to end up back on the 53-man roster very quickly given the lack of production by the offensive line in preseason.

John Leglue is staying in Pittsburgh after all. The versatile OL just signed to the practice squad, per source.
