Steelers Sign T Jake Rodgers To Practice Squad; Release WR Justin Thomas

The Pittsburgh Steelers made a practice squad transaction on Wednesday and that’s not surprising due to tackle Marcus Gilbert re-injuring his hamstring this past Sunday.

Signed to the practice squad on Wednesday was Jake Rodgers, who has already been part of the 10-man unit this season. To make room for Rodgers the Steelers released wide receiver Justin Thomas.

Rodgers was originally signed to the practice squad on September 20, a few days after Gilbert initially injured his hamstring. He was eventually released from the practice squad on September 26.
