The Pittsburgh Steelers have signed DT Breiden Fehoko to their practice squad, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reported Wednesday. Fehoko was among the team’s final roster cuts toward the 53-man roster ahead of the league’s deadline Tuesday
An undrafted free agent emerging from the 2020 NFL Draft class, Fehoko had spent his first three seasons with the Chargers, rotating on and off the practice squad. The Steelers signed him to a one-year, $940,000 contract back in March.
Throughout training camp and the preseason, it became clear that the defensive line was a point of depth for Pittsburgh, so Fehoko’s release didn’t come as a significant surprise.
