Late in the 2021 season, the Pittsburgh Steelers made a move that was largely under the radar. They signed defensive lineman Montravius Adams off the New Orleans Saints’ practice squad to their 53-man roster, addressing some depth issues in the trenches.
Adams, to his credit, played quite well down the stretch that season, earning a two-year deal in free agency from the Steelers in March 2022.
Since then, he’s been an impactful piece for the Steelers. Though he’s missed the last three weeks with an ankle injury suffered in Week Nine against the Tennessee Titans, Adams is set to return to the lineup Sunday at Acrisure Stadium against the Arizona Cardinals, giving the Steelers a significant boost along the defensive line.
