With the recent trend of injuries surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers, many wondered if they might add some pieces to their roster. Preston Smith joined the team last season right before the trade deadline, but he failed to accomplish much. He remained available until the Washington Commanders signed him as a free agent heading into Week 3 of NFL action.
Pittsburgh could use some depth at the edge position with Alex Highsmith suffering an injury last weekend. A reunion with Smith never seemed logical because last season ended badly. He heads back to the team that drafted him in Washington to hopefully have a full-circle moment.
