On Tuesday the Pittsburgh Steelers made a trade with the Seattle Seahawks for tight end Nick Vannett in exchange for a 2020 fifth-round draft pick. As a result of the trade, the Steelers announced they have placed TE Xavier Grimble on the Reserved/Injured List.
Undrafted out of the University of Southern California, Grimble signed as an undrafted free agent with the New York Giants in 2014. Spending time on the practice squads of the 49ers and New England Patriots, the Steelers added Grimble as a practice squad player early in the 2015 season.
