The Steelers announced a number of roster moves ahead of Sunday’s matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders. Per a team announcement, the team placed defensive lineman DeMarvin Leal on injured reserve and signed practice squad outside linebacker Ade Ogundeji to the 53-man roster.
Pittsburgh also elevated outside linebacker Eku Leota and running back Jonathan Ward to the active/inactive roster for the game. Leota and Ward will revert back to the practice squad after Sunday.
