The Steelers have shuffled their roster on Tuesday afternoon. Per a team announcement, Pittsburgh has placed linebacker and special teams ace Tyler Matakevich on injured reserve. The team also signed defensive backs James Pierre and D’Shawn Jamison to the practice squad, releasing wide receiver Shaquan Davis and cornerback Zyon Gilbert from the practice squad in a corresponding move.
Matakevich suffered a hamstring injury in the Steelers’ Week 2 win over the Denver Broncos. It is unclear how long he will be out for. His move to IR opens up a spot on the Steelers’ 53-man roster.
