Pittsburgh Steelers host former XFL linebacker for visit

Scales was on the Steelers practice squad last preseason.

The linebacker visits continue for the Pittsburgh Steelers, per the NFL wire. This time, it’s outside linebacker Tegray Scales. If the name sounds familiar, it’s because Scales was part of the Steelers 2019 training camp squad.

The Indiana Hoosier signed as an undrafted free agent out with the Los Angeles Rams in 2018, only to be waived after training camp. He was briefly part of the Indianapolis Colts practice squad later that year.

The 6’0 linebacker signed a futures contract with Pittsburgh in January 2019 but was cut after the preseason. He was on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ practice squad this summer and released on Oct. 27.

Post-Steelers, Scales was with the XFL’s Dallas Renegades, where he had 31 tackles and a sack in five games.

Pittsburgh currently has one vacant spot on its practice squad. We’ll see if it goes to Scales.
