Breiden Fehoko announces he is signing with the Steelers

The Pittsburgh Steelers are a team who is dealing with a myriad of injuries along their defensive line. As of Thursday, head coach Mike Tomlin stated there were three defensive tackles who are all dealing with knee injuries. We don’t know the severity of those injuries, but as the team prepares for their final week of preparation before the preseason begins you have to think some roster moves will be made.

The team doesn’t want players like Cam Heyward, Keeanu Benton, and even rookie Derrick Harmon to be over-worked when it isn’t necessary, so filling out the roster with healthy bodies will be paramount.

One of those players who is joining the team is a familiar face, and that would be none other than Breiden Fehoko. This per Fehoko’s personal Twitter/X account:

Non-earth shattering news: I’m signing with the Pittsburgh Steelers

At this time, the Steelers have not made any roster moves official, but it could be coming at any moment. The team is preparing for their Friday Night Lights practice this evening, and moves typically occur before those workouts begin. With that said, it also could come tomorrow, Saturday.

Either way, Fehoko has been on and off the Steelers roster, and practice squad, the past few seasons and is very familiar with the team, defense, and expectations which will be placed on him. If he plans on making the 53-man roster he’ll need to prove his worth over players like Yahya Black, who is looking to carve out his own spot on the roster along the defensive front.
