Steelers Place DE DeMarvin Leal On IR; Josh Jackson Signed To 53-Man Roster

As expected, the Pittsburgh Steelers made a few transactions on Saturday and those include a few players being brought up from the practice squad to the team’s Active/Inactive roster and one other being placed on the Reserve/Injured list

The Steelers placed rookie defensive end DeMarvin Leal on the Reserve/Injured list on Saturday. Leal apparently suffered a knee injury on Friday as he was added to the injury report as out. Taking his place on the 53-man roster is cornerback Josh Jackson, who is expected to start on Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers due to cornerbacks Cameron Sutton, Levi Wallace and Ahkello Witherspoon all sidelined with injuries.
