The Pittsburgh Steelers landed some needed cornerback depth when they signed free agent Asante Samuel Jr. to their practice squad on Nov. 11. The Steelers have not activated him for each of his first two possible games, but one beat writer thinks that may soon need to change.
“[Samuel] is interesting because they’re banged up at cornerback,” Fittipaldo said Friday via 93.7 The Fan’s Pomp and Joe Show. “They could probably use another body back there with Joey Porter Jr. going down last week. The other reason Samuel is interesting too, is I’m sure he wants to play and he’s only on the practice squad and we all know there were like 10 teams interested in him a couple weeks ago.
