The Pittsburgh Steelers have officially signed CB James Pierre to the 53-man roster, per Aaron Wilson of KPRC5 in Houston.
Pierre served as Pittsburgh’s gunner on Sunday and played well after being elevated off the practice squad, and Pierre also had to play a defensive role after injuries suffered to Cory Trice Jr. and Donte Jackson, although Jackson quickly returned.
It’s Pierre’s second stint in Pittsburgh, as he also was with the team from 2020-2023, although his defensive role diminished in recent seasons. He originally signed with the Washington Commanders this offseason but was released during final roster cuts in August.
