Fittipaldo ‘Kind Of Surprised’ Steelers Not Signing Vet OLB, ‘Going With Practice Squad Guys That I’ve Never Heard Of’

The Pittsburgh Steelers could be starting Jeremiah Moon opposite T.J. Watt this week, with two edge rushers elevated from the practice squad. They will be down Alex Highsmith, Nick Herbig, and even DeMarvin Leal, yet are not making any moves. Nor do reporters anticipate they will—perhaps based on their recent experiences.

“I’m kind of surprised that they haven’t signed a veteran”, Ray Fittipaldo of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette said on 93.7 The Fan yesterday about the Steelers standing pat at outside linebacker in the face of mounting injuries. Highsmith is set to miss his third game, while Herbig and Leal went down on Sunday.
