DeMarvin Leal began his fourth season on the practice squad, but the fourth-year veteran has different plans for an ending. Now back on the 53-man roster, he intends to make the most of his opportunity. Amid injuries, he should have a chance to contribute—and maybe his last chance, should he fail.
“Yes, sir. The season didn’t start the way I wanted it to, but it shall finish the way I want it to”, Leal told Brian Batko of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. With OLB Alex Highsmith dealing with an injury, and the Steelers placing DL Isaiahh Loudermilk on the Reserve/Injured List, he is back in the mix.
