The Pittsburgh Steelers are signing RB Godwin Igwebuike off the Atlanta Falcons’ practice squad, per Mike Garafolo of NFL Media.
With Anthony McFarland Jr. landing on IR Monday, the Steelers only had two running backs on the active roster after RB Qadree Ollison reverted back to the practice squad. Igwebuike is a journeyman, as Pittsburgh will be his sixth NFL team since 2018.
One area where Igwebuike should help out is as a kick returner. Gunner Olszewski’s lone kick return on Monday was a disaster, and it was a role McFarland was serving in before going down with an injury.
