Leota will likely play outside linebacker in Pittsburgh, and with Alex Highsmith out in Week 5 again and Mike Tomlin noting that Nick Herbig could be limited early in the week, it makes sense to add another body who can help out in practice this week and potentially grow into a bigger role down the line.
