After six seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers in which he held down the starting role as the punter and holder in the Steel City, veteran punter Jordan Berry made a surprise return to the black and gold earlier in the week, signing to the practice squad while second-year punter Pressley Harvin III is dealing with a hip injury.
Though Harvin has practiced in full the last two days ahead of Sunday’s Week 4 matchup with the New York Jets, the Steelers made the move to sign Berry as a precaution, ensuring that the Steelers have an experienced punter and holder in the fold in case Harvin can’t go, allowing Pittsburgh to elevate Berry on Saturday, should the need arise.
