DT Breiden Fehoko has never suited up for the Pittsburgh Steelers in a regular-season game. But he’s familiar with the team, having spent the previous two offseasons in Pittsburgh. Now, he’s back after officially signing with the team on Saturday.
A big reason for Fehoko’s return to Pittsburgh is the slew of injuries on the defensive line, with DL Dean Lowry on the reserve/injured list and having waived/injured DL Jacob Slade. The Steelers listed the two injured players as defensive linemen, while Fehoko has always played nose tackle. However, when a reporter asked Fehoko about what opportunity he’s got here now and what he’s bringing to the table, Fehoko said he’s not locked into just playing nose tackle like he has been.
