It didn’t take the Steelers long to fill the roster spot opened by Tyler Matakevich landing on injured reserve. Per the NFL transactions sheet, Pittsburgh signed wide receiver and special teams ace Ben Skowronek to its 53-man roster on Tuesday.
Interestingly, the Steelers have not yet officially announced the move. It was first noticed by Alan Saunders of Steelers Now.
Skowronek has been elevated from the Steelers practice squad the last two weeks. He was only eligible for one more promotion during the regular season. Instead, the Steelers decided to officially add him to the 53-man roster.
