Former Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Mark Robinson has a new NFL home. He has signed to the New England Patriots practice squad, per the league’s transactions sheet. The Patriots’ also announced the move.
He is the first Steeler released at cutdowns to latch on with another team, though Pittsburgh retained many of the players released. All 17 practice squad spots are occupied by players who spent the summer with the team.
Robinson was released by the Steelers Tuesday as the team trimmed its roster to the NFL-mandated 53-man group. A seventh round draft pick in 2022, Robinson served as a special teamer for his three years in Pittsburgh.
