Steelers Sign Brown-Dukes To Practice Squad, Release Hagen

The Pittsburgh Steelers have flip-flopped a move they made less than a week ago, announcing the signing of RB Brandon Brown-Dukes to the practice squad. Safety Jacob Hagen was released in a corresponding move.

The Steelers signed Hagen and released Brown-Dukes on September 16th. It’s unclear why they’ve made the switch.

Brown-Dukes was signed after rookie tryouts as a UDFA out of Mercyhurst.
