The Pittsburgh Steelers signed free agent safety Karl Joseph to the team’s practice squad on Wednesday and the former first-round draft pick out of West Virginia might wind up on the 53-man roster by the time the team plays the Buffalo Bills a week from Sunday.
According to Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Joseph, who had his one-year contract that he signed with the Las Vegas Raiders earlier in the offseason terminated on Tuesday, is expected to be signed off the Steelers practice squad once the six-day Covid-19 protocol for new players expires. If that happens, the Steelers would then need to make a corresponding transaction.
