The two primary moves which were made were the Steelers signing offensive lineman Max Scharping off the Washington Commanders practice squad to the 53-man roster. To accommodate for Scharping, the team also placed guard James Daniels on the Reserve/Injured List after he ruptured his Achilles Tendon in Sunday’s loss vs. the Indianapolis Colts.

For more information on Scharping, this is from the Steelers official website:

Scharping, who is in his sixth season in the NFL, has appeared he 79 games, starting 33 of them.

He was drafted by the Houston Texans in the second round of the 2019 NFL Draft, the 55th overall selection. He spent three seasons with the Texans, appearing in 48 games, starting 33 of them at both left guard and right guard.

Scharping was acquired via waivers by the Cincinnati Bengals in 2022, playing in 14 games that season, without any regular season starts. He started all three postseason games at right guard after an injury to Alex Cappa. Last season he appeared in 17 games for the Bengals, mainly on special teams.

The team also made moves on their practice squad, and they were:

Signed linebacker Eku Leota and running back La’Mical Perine to the practice squad.

In addition, the team released defensive backs Jalen Elliott and Darius Rush from the 53-man roster, and running back Jack Colletto and linebacker Marcus Haynes from the practice squad.
