Pelissero: Steelers Signing Beanie Bishop Jr. To Practice Squad

Beanie Bishop Jr. was squeezed off the 53-man roster without a clear role in the defense, but the Pittsburgh Steelers still like him enough to keep him in the organization. According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, Pittsburgh is signing Bishop to the practice squad.

The #Steelers are re-signing DB Beanie Bishop Jr. to the practice squad after he cleared waivers, per source.

An undrafted free agent in 2024, Bishop became the unlikely Week 1 starter without other great slot corner options on the roster. He proved to be a sure tackler with room to grow in coverage.
