After spending training camp with the team and impressing in the preseason, the Pittsburgh Steelers have signed OLB Julius Welschof to the practice squad, the team announced today.
Welschof was initially placed on season-ending IR by the team on August 27 with a knee injury suffered in the preseason finale, but two days later he was released with an injury settlement.
On November 1, he garnered some interest as a free agent, having a visit with the Detroit Lions, but nothing materialized there. With Welschof still a free agent, the Steelers decided to circle back and add him to the practice squad.
