The Steelers are not interested in signing former Cleveland Browns nose tackle Phil Taylor because he has a bad knee that will require surgery, a source told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
Taylor, a former No. 1 draft choice in 2011 who played at Penn State and Baylor, visited the Steelers’ South Side facility Wednesday, just one day after being released by the Browns. However, the Steelers discovered his knee would take too long to heal and he could not help the team anytime soon.
The Steelers are looking at possibly signing a veteran defensive lineman because of a lack of depth on the line.
