Seattle Seahawks tight end Nick Vannett will soon be in Pittsburgh, as ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Tuesday night that the Seahawks and Steelers are putting the finishing touches on a trade.
The pending move comes after Steelers starting tight end Vance McDonald was seen wearing a sling at the team's facility Tuesday. McDonald left Pittsburgh's 24-20 loss to the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday with what ESPN's Brooke Pryor described as a shoulder injury.
"Tight end became a more obvious need after Vance McDonald left Sunday's game with an injury," Pryor added following Schefter's report.
