Down quarterback Kenny Pickett for at least Week 14 against the New England Patriots, the Pittsburgh Steelers are adding to the quarterback room this week.
According to a report from ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Steelers are signing veteran quarterback Trace McSorley to the practice squad, giving Pittsburgh a third healthy quarterback that they can theoretically elevate to the Active/Inactive roster for Thursday night and dress as the emergency third quarterback.
McSorley, 28, spent time this offseason with the New England Patriots before being cut ahead of the 53-man roster deadline. In October, McSorley spent a month on the Chicago Bears’ practice squad.
