Last Saturday the Pittsburgh Steelers waived running back Terrell Watson from their 53-man roster and filled his spot by signing running back Fitzgerald Toussaint of their practice squad. The fact that Toussaint, who has NFL game experience, even made it eleven full weeks on the Steelers practice squad was a bit of a surprise and apparently he had a few opportunities to go elsewhere but declined to do so.
According to Jacob Klinger of pennlive.com, Toussaint, who originally joined the Steelers as a practice squad player just ahead of the 2015 regular season getting underway, turned down a chance to join the Kansas City Chiefs after being waived by the Steelers during the team’s final round of cuts this year.
