Right as the team started to report to Latrobe for training camp, the Pittsburgh Steelers made a move to address the open roster spot left by RB/FB Trey Edmunds after he was released yesterday. As many expected, Pittsburgh did elect to sign a new RB to the roster to bolster depth behind Najee Harris. However, the name that signed with Pittsburgh was not one often associated with the team during the offseason speculation of adding another running back to the depth chart.
That name is former Tennessee Titans RB Jeremy McNichols.
