The Pittsburgh Steelers have elevated CB James Pierre and OL John Leglue from their practice squad to the Active/Inactive roster, the team announced Saturday.
For Pierre, it was an expected move after the team signed him to the practice squad earlier in the week. With WR Ben Skowronek placed on injured reserve due to a shoulder injury, Pierre will likely serve as one of the team’s starting gunners. He served in that role the previous two seasons. Who will play opposite of him is unclear. It could be CB Darius Rush, RB/KR Cordarrelle Patterson, WR Scotty Miller, or perhaps even CB Beanie Bishop Jr.
