With a knee injury knocking LB Cole Holcomb out for the season, and S Minkah Fitzpatrick out for Sunday’s matchup against the Green Bay Packers the Pittsburgh Steelers elevated two players, a linebacker and a safety. As expected, the team elevated LB Tariq Carpenter, who previously spent time with Green Bay, as well as S Trenton Thompson, who joined Pittsburgh in training camp and has spent the 2023 season on the practice squad so far.
Thompson came over to Pittsburgh during camp after a stint with the New York Giants with Pittsburgh dealing with injury issues at safety, as well as Minkah Fitzpatrick being away from the team at the start of camp.
