After signing veteran cornerback James Pierre to the practice squad following the placement of second-year corner Cory Trice Jr. on Injured Reserve Tuesday, the Steelers filled Pierre’s spot on the practice squad Wednesday.
The Steelers signed former first-round pick in cornerback C.J. Henderson to the practice squad Wednesday, the team announced. Pittsburgh previously worked out Henderson last week, getting a good look at the former 2020 first-rounder.
Henderson was a first-round pick of the Jacksonville Jaguars but didn’t last long there, ultimately being traded to the Carolina Panthers after just two seasons in Jacksonville. He then spent three years with the Panthers.
