Veteran pass rusher Markus Golden should take in his first practice with the Pittsburgh Steelers’ today. And we now know what number he’ll be wearing. According to the team media site, Golden will sport #54 for the Steelers, for right now anyway, after signing a one-year deal with the team late last week.
Golden has worn #44 throughout his entire NFL career. But that jersey number was occupied on the team’s roster already with linebacker/special teamer Tanner Muse already claiming #44. Evidently, either Muse didn’t want to give his digits up or Golden didn’t care enough about his jersey number to even pursue it.
