On Wednesday, the Pittsburgh Steelers signed veteran cornerback Duke Dawson to their practice squad. Dawson was one of a half dozen free agents the Steelers brought in for a workout on Tuesday. As of Wednesday, Dawson was the only player among the group who the Steelers signed.
This is almost certainly a response to both Cameron Sutton and Levi Wallace’s injuries. Sutton is dealing with a hamstring and missed practice on Wednesday and Wallace is in the concussion protocol after last week’s game.
Dawson is a former second-round pick out of the University of Florida and he has four career starts in two seasons. Dawson spent almost all of 2021 on the PUP list.
