The Steelers have made a flurry of roster moves ahead of their Week 2 game against the Cleveland Browns. On Thursday, the team announced that wide receiver Dez Fitzpatrick had been signed from the practice squad to the Steelers’ 53-man roster, taking defensive lineman Cam Heyward’s spot, who was recently placed on injured reserve.

The Steelers also announced that they had released cornerback Anthony Brown from the practice squad and placed safety Josiah Scott on the Practice Squad/Injured List. To fill those two spots, Pittsburgh signed cornerback Luq Barcoo and running back Greg Bell.
