The Pittsburgh Steelers sign a pair of ex-Lions to their practice squad for Week 5

Two players who spent the summer and preseason with the Detroit Lions have found a new home. Wide receiver Denzel Mims and offensive tackle Obinna Eze are now members of the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Pittsburgh signed both ex-Lions to their practice squad on Tuesday.

Eze spent all of 2022 with the Lions as an undrafted rookie from TCU. He did not make the final roster cutdown and has remained unsigned since.

Mims was acquired by the Lions in an offseason trade with the New York Jets. He suffered a lower leg injury in training camp and was waived with injury designation. After going unclaimed on waivers, Mims took an injury settlement from the Lions.
