The Steelers made more roster adjustments this week, announcing the addition of two linebackers to their practice squad on Wednesday: outside linebacker Ade Ogundeji and linebacker Craig Young.
Ogundeji originally joined the Steelers’ practice squad in August and was briefly promoted to the 53-man roster before Week 6 against the Las Vegas Raiders. However, with Alex Highsmith returning to practice, Ogundeji was moved back to the practice squad. Craig Young, who previously worked out with the Steelers in early October, transitioned from playing safety in college to linebacker at the NFL level.

The Steelers had room to add Young after losing inside linebacker Jacoby Windmon to the Carolina Panthers, who signed him off Pittsburgh’s practice squad. The Steelers now have 17 players on their practice squad.
